Great Game: Zork
Zork was one of the first video games! If anyone knows what this is, leave a comment! I just found it the other day, and it amazed me. This is an all-text game (that means it has no pictures) where you explore the world they put you in. Typing in simple commands such as “go north” or even just “n” for north, will make you walk somewhere else. You can also type in things such as “open door” and you will open the door and be inside the room.
Just a disclaimer — This picture obviously has nothing to do with the game! This is my avatar!
Other commands such as “attack” or “climb tree” or “pick up wrench” also work. This game of adventure and excitement is great!
However, just because this game is all-text, don’t think it’s easy. This is probably the #1 hardest game I’ve ever played. It requires you to touch — not break — an innocent mirror to teleport you somewhere else… How would you do that without looking up a walkthrough?? (Not me
)
If anyone loves Zork as much as I do, tell me
There is also a Zork 2, Zork 3, and I believe there are more that are not text-only, but I think that would take all of the fun out of it
Zork is basically like a huge storyline, with you controlling it. Like a Choose Your Own Adventure book! The game is like a book, it lets you imagine the dungeons and the monsters… The forests and lakes…
Anyway, if anyone has more questions about Zork, ask me
See you all later…

That picture reminds me of my grandson but your avatar is better looking.
Seriously, great comments about ZORK
Thanks
What a great description of ZORK. I’ve never played it, but now I want to see it!
(I fixed my name. Does that help?
)
Ohh… I thought I knew who you were before but now I’m sure…
haha!
The Notice Board is a great idea!
Nice mouse cyclops in a hoodie with a fro.
Thanks! … I… Think…
Do you know how much it (Zork) costs at Game City 360 Milford??? I have $12 credit there. If it’s an old game, it probably doesn’t cost a lot. What system is it for?
Um… Er… Sorry… I forgot what I was going to say.
