Back in 1982, I took out a personal bank loan for $2200 to purchase an Apple //e for the sole purpose of purchasing and playing a $50
interactive fiction game called
Zork. The game contained no graphics. It was a text-only adventure.
Zork was published by a company called
Infocom.
Back then, I was constantly reading computer magazines like Popular Computing, which featured colorful Zork/Infocom full-page ads.
In another
thread, I happened across another TFP user who knew the game.
I thought if might be fun to start this thread and see who else among TFP members played Zork or Infocom games.
So grab your brass lantern and share your Zork history, trivia, reminiscence about looking under the rug, and recollect about your adventures in The Great Underground Empire.
Also, feel free to share your experiences about any of the other Zork iterations, or the other cool Infocom games or early home computer systems upon which you played it.
Just watch out for the grue...
