If you've ever seen source code with comment warnings such as "It is pitch black" or "You are likely to be eaten by a grue" or "You're in a maze of twisty little passages", then you've encountered some of Zork's famous lines.
- ranuzz 2y agooh awesome. I wasn't around when it was released but did play it on an emulator years after and was amazed at how magical it felt when the game understood what I was typing in plain English.
- mgsouth 2y agoNope on the last one:) That's from Adventure.
- nineteen999 2y agoHonestly it's still my favourite this day, if you can memorize the mazes and some of the puzzles and you get a good run with the RNG, its still fun from time to time to see how few moves you can complete it in.
