Description
Zork is set in the ancient ruins of an underground empire. You enter this world in search of adventure and wealth.
A classic game in every sense of the word, Zork was ported over from mainframes in the late 1970s and started the dynasty commonly known as "text adventures" (although the proper term for such by die-hard fans is
Interactive Fiction).

Trivia
Zork was born on the mainframes of MIT in 1977, and saw its first commercial release on the TRS-80, under the Personal Software (releasers of VisiCalc) label in 1979. The title was a nonsense word used by the creators to label works in progress. Infocom was founded by these creators, Marc Blank, Dave Lebling, Tim Anderson and Bruce Daniels, to create Zork II. Infocom created 35 other games for a variety of computer platforms.
