Mac Os Versions

When this game appeared at work, seemingly everyone stayed into the evening and wasamazed at the detail and puzzles. Forget Myst. This game stretches the imaginationand has interesting puzzles.

As was customary at the time, computer games were free. The source code for this onebears an Infocom copyright, however it allows free noncommercial distribution. I obtained itin 1991 and compiled it for MS/DOS. Of course it will run under Windows! The program waswritten in Fortran, and I'm not providing the source, lest it spoil the game!

Back around 1980, the folks at Infocom wrote a game interpreter and rewrote Zork torun on it, making it possible to play the game on Apples, TRS-80's, CP/M boxes, and othersystems of the day rather than being limited to mainframes. THIS program is the originalmainframe version. It is equivalent to Zork I + about half of Zork II + the endgame of Zork III.

If by some chance the only version of the game you ever played was on a mainframe,this version may be somewhat of a treat as it is the last mainframe version and hasthe Bank of Zork and Maze puzzles which didn't appear in early versions.

For all these versions, just unzip the files somewhere and run from thatlocation. These programs run from the command line.
