I remember making maps on graph paper of Zork I on the C64 in jr high. I played this recently again on an emulator, and can't say I'm anxious for another text-based adventure, but will have to check out this browser based version for sure!

Old fashioned player as I am, I prefer connecting to a MUD and keeping the window minimized at work. However, I played a few games through browser (Legend of the Green Dragon, mainly), and will try it for the sake of curiosity

Yea I'm partial to "The Lurking Horror" myself :) would be interesting if they could create a similar experience except improve on the text identification.. you know how tedious those games could be.. here, in case anyone hasn't played this, i think it's a great commentary on the quirkiness of the genre http://www.homestarrunner.com/dungeonman.html

I wish them luck. It sounds a lot like our text based browser mmo that we launched in October. It's doing well - there is definitely a market for playing games while at work.

Caleb: Good call! I found Dungeonman to be an extremely amusing experience. In fact, that site has a few different games created to poke fun at different genres and platforms. Good stuff!

I'm just concerned that making Zork entirely graphical will make it lose its "feel". Unless, of course, they made it still a text adventure! That would be amazing! I suppose it'd be difficult to do with an MMO, but still! (sorry, just thought of that)
But I'm still looking forward to it, even if I doubt it'll be as good as the originals. Oh well. |

It almost saddens me to admit, but I'm right there with you @ Tom Newman. Zork was one of my first adventures with my trusty c64. Zork and Oregon Trail were two of my favs. Will be very interested to see it in a 21st century environment.
