"Amazing.
Zork, Zork II and Zork III all freeware and available for download.
I played them when I was a kid, before I really understood what I was playing and just ended up getting frustrated, and typing 'WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO WHAT I WANT, YOU STUPID THING?'

Come to think of it, at the time, I'm sure thousands of others were typing something similar into their DOS windows, only they weren't playing a game. ;-)

Am I crazy because when I have a dog, I want to name it Foozle?"


You fail to hear the grue behind you. He walks up and turns off your computer.

I love it! Where is the mailbox? I want to

Open Mailbox
Put Blog

So I can send it around to all the other Zork Junkies.

If anyone else remembers these, I HIGHLY SUGGEST that you try plaing "Zork Grand Inquisitor". It integrates graphics into the zork world with a funny narrator and some statements by the creatures you interact with that will remind you of the old days of text based games. I would rate it a 5 out of 5 for pure fun
