1. zork
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 http://www.ifarchive.org/. See
also grue. You can play Zork via a Java
Applet.
