Re: The New Message Board
It looks like the sorting is ok. A few of the posts are older but at the top, but they seem to have a different icon than the rest of the posts, so they are probably sticky posts that are taged to always be on top. I didn't notice the different icon at first, and it just seemed like they were out of...

The New Message Board
It is great to see the Message Board back on line. It'll take a little getting used to the new interface. There is one thing I seem to be having trouble with: The message sorting. I have selected it to be according to the post time, in descending order. But the listing shows several older posts at t...

The Zork Library in real-time 3D
Hi Guys, As some of you may recall, I developed a real-time 3D interface/environment for the computer a couple of years ago. The environment, called Knexus, takes the form of a 3D virtual library in which the 'books' in the library are links to files, programs, folders, webpages, etc., and it opens...

Another Librarian Movie
Hey, there was another Librarian movie on TNT tonight. It was called The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice. I won't say anything about it so as not to spoil the story. I checked the listings and it will be on again tonight at 11 PM and again at 2 am and on Tuesday, Dec 9 at 7 pm. All East...

Re: Using the Maps
I would say that there is a very good reason to draw your own maps. Especially if you don't have a good sense of direction. The reason is this: In text games, you don't 'see' yourself moving forward, turning left, etc. But as you draw the map, moving that little line on the paper, drawing the box...

After you start the game, type "restore" to load a saved game.

Re: I got one!
Wow! That's impressive. I am jealous.
Post some pictures of the Zorkmid.
What kind of media and format are the games on?
Do you plan to play or replay the text games, for old-times sake?

Re: New Zork Remake in Development
Since ActiVision owns the rights to Zork, I gotta ask. Have you guys cleared all this with ActiVision? Are they cool with it?

Re: Return to Zork: ANOTHER new problem....
I tried running your saved game on my old computer and it does the same thing you are seeing. Just to make sure, I used one of my old saved games at the same location and it works ok. Then I ran it on my XP computer in DosBox and it also gave the corrupted screen, but when I ran one of my old saved ...

Re: 'Adventure' birthday party
Five years ago, I constructed a murder mystery party for my daughter's 12th birthday. The game was designed to be very similar to playing an adventure game in real life. - Hidden clues, puzzles, inventory, etc. I posted a thread about my game on an interactive fiction newsgroup and one of the memb...

Something about Grues
Well, this is just a little trivia thing about grues. I was at the movies tonight. I went to see the French romantic comedy Hors de Prix (Priceless). During the credits, I noticed one of the listings was for Grues. I didn't remember any Grues in the movie, so I figured, may "grues" means...
