Summary

The one that stated it all for Infocom

The Good

Previously, I had only played Scott Adams' Text Adventures, which were only 16K, and supported 2 words (Get Rope). I loved those, but when Zork came out, it blew me away, and raised the bar on Intereactive Fiction.

The Bad

I was a bit put off by the AMOUNT of text for each description, since I was used to the bare minimum. But I soon got used to it.

The Bottom Line

A classic that everyone should play
