I recently discovered Zork, Grand Inquisitor hiding in my desk drawer, and remembering how awesome it was when I first got it I reinstalled it and have started playing again.
For those of you who don't know, Zork began as a text adventure way back..before I was born probably, and involved a whole lot of problem solving in order to find the treasure and the way through the underground cave system. Essentially an adventure type game that made people use thier imagination instead of pretty graphics. I never finished any of these. Played them, but they were just too hard.
In 1997 (?) ZGI came out, not the first of the zorks to have graphics, but definately the prettiest, while staying true to the old formula. I don't know if they still produce it. I doubt it, but if anyone else has played it or the originals. Feel like sharing your thoughts?
Or you can discuss other games from the text adventure era.. I wasn't around then and zork is the only one I ever played.
