/zork/ , n. The second of the great early experiments in computer fantasy
|
|
|
|
|
gaming; see ADVENT. Originally written on MIT-DM during 1977-1979, later
|
|
|
|
|
distributed with BSD Unix (as a patched, sourceless RT-11 FORTRAN binary;
|
|
|
|
|
see retrocomputing ) and commercialized as The Zork Trilogy by Infocom. The
|
|
|
|
|
FORTRAN source was later rewritten for portability and released to Usenet

|
|
under the name Dungeon. Both FORTRAN Dungeon and translated C versions are
|
|
|
|
|
available at many FTP sites; the commercial Zork trilogy is available at
