I tried to get into but it really wasn't clicking. I even tried drinking beer before playing, but ended up just seeing how many stupid ways I could kill myself. I've not really played very many text adventures before this so many I'm just spoiled on games with graphics and music. I liked King Quest series so typing in what to do didn't bother me. I thought the text was a little bland so it didn't hold my attention really well. Am I going to gamer hell for not liking this game????? |

Ah Zork, one of my favorite games, and one of the most creative. I usually run it on the high graphics setting (maximum verbosity  ) Also, try throwing the leaflet at yourself. |

| catchaserguns | I'm stuck! Even with the walkthrough I can't get the trap door back open from down in the cellar. Any Ideas on how to get it back open or do I have to stick something in it? | |

If you want to try this game out, do yourself a favor and don't use a walkthrough (of for any text adventure game). You'll be cheating yourself out of satisfaction, which is a big part of this game. Patient people only. Lots of other Interactive Fiction (IF) on the net, free stuff written by fans of the genre and interpreters to play on various OS. Take a look. |

An amusement for IF addicts like yours truly is to enter XYZZY or FROBOZZ into every single game, just to note the response. It is nothing short of stunning to observe how many authors still acknowledge this venerable work. When you see hundreds of different people reference to a decades-old computer game, ladies and gentlemen, then you will know it is a classic. Amazingly, there is now an online RPG based on the Zork series. I've tried it myself and highly recommend it. http://legendsofzork.com/ |

Some things to try... Here's some commands I found that had humorous responses: * "look at self" * "hand me to me" * "kick me", "kick self", "kick" [enter] "self" (they all have slightly different responses) * "kiss" [any object] (me, tree, ground, etc) * "stab self" (when you're not carrying the sword; also works with some other objects) * "damn" * "ask me"/"talk to self" * "kill"/"stab" [any object] (case, air, tree, hands, etc) * "eat me"/"eat self" * "eat" [any unedible object] (hands, air, etc) * "go down chimney" (in the white house) * "scream"/"yell" I've only just started, but here's what I've got so far :laugh: Gotta love Zork!
