By patrick on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 03:09 pm:

    shit. ive been rocking that game for the last half hour....killed a troll, took a jeweled egg, found the echo room, round room, domed room and then my browswer froze up.


    those games were all the rage when i was in elementary school, like choose your own adventure books.


By J on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 03:39 pm:

    I don't get Sems game,it never loads or something for me,sorry sem,I thought your link didn't work so I slapped that game up there.


By patrick on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 03:47 pm:

    type in commands.


    "look around"

    "walk north"

    "walk east"

    "take sword"

    the commands need to have a verb and a noun. go from there

    the echo room is great. how do you do anything in there?

    you can also download all the zorks for free at
    http://www.csd.uwo.ca/Infocom

    I haven't since I don't know if it's compatible with Windows XP.


By patrick on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:51 pm:

    eventually you get out.

    have you experienced the Blaster virus?


    Nico got it. She has windows XP. if you are on the network, you're probably ok.

    Fortunately someone on another board posted easy to do laymens instructions to install the patch, activate your firewall if not done, and erradictate the fucker.

    so far so good.


    since the bosses are gone today and tomorrow i think i will download me some Zork.


By TBone on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 05:36 pm:

    I've had a couple friends who got it. I burned some cds with the patches for all versions of windows on it and they've been passing them around.
    .
    Go Microsoft.

    the game should be called DORK not ZORK.

    When I was in junior high and high school I couldn't get anyone to play D&D with me so I became addicted to all the infocom games. I still have them, with all the maps and hint books somewhere packed away in this apartment.


By Lapis on Monday, August 18, 2003 - 01:10 pm:

    Kazoo! Welcome back!

    (I've never played D&D but I've read all the books my roommates have so I can make gaming jokes)


By kazoo on Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 08:29 am:

    Thanks Lapis.

    I found the egg, the chalice, the trident, the torch, the coffin, the painting, the platinum bar, the coins, the jewels and something buried in the sandy cove, and holy shit if I just didn't remember where to get the thingamwhat that lets you cross the rainbow. Woo-hoo! I figured out the Loud and mirror rooms, opened the grating, emptied the resevoir, crossed the frigid river, got rid of the cyclops, prayed at the altar, got killed by the theif and turned into a ghost.

    Yes, I went and got the map, but I am remembering most of the tricks.

    God, I love this game.


By Nate on Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 12:42 pm:

    wow.

    kazoo, could you email me?


By kazoo on Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 07:21 pm:

    I just sent it.
