ramesees Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 its like a MUD, where you just enter commands such as Look, open, north etc... only its damn frustrating this one....bit basic as well though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munki Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 "You are in a clearing, with a forest surrounding you on the west and south. There is a pile of leaves on the ground." This is the furthest I've gotten to. I already got the jewel encrusted egg from the tree...am I suppose to look for a witch or something to give it to? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaise Veteran Posted January 31, 2003 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2003 ahh memories :D Theres a securely fastened grating underneath those leaves. I still have a copy of the "Nemesis" version, fancy graphics and all from win95. I like these plain Jane ones better, might just be my advanced state of geezitude :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted January 31, 2003 MVC Share Posted January 31, 2003 here is how you get the leaflet ;) Welcome to Zork. This version created 11-MAR-91 (PHP mod 25-OCT-2001) There are 34 users playing Zork. You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here. > open mailbox Opening the mailbox reveals: A leaflet. > get leaflet Taken. > read leaflet Welcome to Zork! Dungeon is a game of adventure, danger, and low cunning. In it you will explore some of the most amazing territory ever seen by mortal man. Hardened adventurers have run screaming from the terrors contained within. In Dungeon, the intrepid explorer delves into the forgotten secrets of a lost labyrinth deep in the bowels of the earth, searching for vast treasures long hidden from prying eyes, treasures guarded by fearsome monsters and diabolical traps! No DECsystem should be without one! Dungeon was created at the Programming Technology Division of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science by Tim Anderson, Marc Blank, Bruce Daniels, and Dave Lebling. It was inspired by the Adventure game of Crowther and Woods, and the Dungeons and Dragons game of Gygax and Arneson. The original version was written in MDL (alias MUDDLE). The current version was translated from MDL into FORTRAN IV by a somewhat paranoid DEC engineer who prefers to remain anonymous, and was later translated to C. On-line information may be obtained with the commands HELP and INFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyder Veteran Posted January 31, 2003 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2003 stupid locked grating! man i'm so lost. apparently you dont always face north. because i went east and changed my mind, so i typed west thinking it'd take me back to where i was.

Blaise Veteran Posted January 31, 2003 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2003 Thanks Bud :) You are on a small beach on the continuation of the Frigid Riverpast the falls. The beach is narrow due to the presence of the white cliffs. The river canyon opens here, and sunlight shines in from above. A rainbow crosses over the falls to the west, and a narrow path continues to the southeast. I'm bailing, but will definitely be back, forgot how addictive these are :p Oh and FRUSTRATING :cry: I feel yah Spyder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 zork was an incredible game. I think it was released around 82 or so. I played it on an old apple for the first time. Incredibly tough too, I remember never being able to get the key from the unicorn. dont forget to turn your lantern off when not using it. also, let the egg get stolen by someone better trained at opening such treasures. Then take it back. Ishmael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
