OK, so downloading can be troublesome and it takes time and why download when you can just click on this link and PLAY ZORK. Yes you can just click on the link and start playing. It just couldn’t be any easier.
I suppose now you want someone to show you how to play……….
So click the link and it will open in a new tab. Shrink the two tabs so you can continue reading my epic post here about playing Zork without having to download.
Now you need some guidance. You’re looking at the cursor is waiting for you to make the next move. Type in “open the door” and dang, it says “the door cannot be opened.
So you got a stupid answer, then type in something else.
Now what? Try open mailbox. And wallah! Oh, I almost forgot. When you play sports or participate in even things like biking or running you have to look the part.
Something you need while playing this interactive fiction game.
This is where you should begin to make your own Zork map. There’s not even a white house on the example below. Draw out the moves you make. Be descriptive in every move. You are creating an original, yes?
Flickr.comImage above is just a suggestion of how primitive you can be. It would be cool to start with a white house with a small mailbox. Somewhere on the page place a sort of compass to maintain direction. Keep your printing legible and proceed.
The cursor is waiting. You opened the mailbox and there’s a small pamphlet inside. You are on your way to playing Zork one of the oldest interactive fiction computer games.
Would you like a cheat sheet? I promise it won’t be as much fun or intriguing. You know what they say about cheaters, right.
I’m having a really hard time just making a link here so you can breeze through the game without any effort.
Perhaps it would be best if you searched for the cheat sheet and then I’ll sleep better knowing I’m not complicit in a felonious act.
