I just wanted to chime in and say that I really like the sound of this. I've been considering buying this book for a while, but haven't yet. Do you know how the Kindle edition looks? I imagine it's fine since the images aren't huge and they're black and white. I have a Nook and was hoping this book ...

Sorry about the no linking rule. We have had some pretty big spam problems, so we have a 2 post minimum before you can post links.

Impressive research!

Sorry, I'd prefer people not trade torrent links here for the games. There are legal means to get these games for relatively cheap.

As some of you may be aware, there's a Zork Wiki available on Wikia. I'd like to contribute to it, but I haven't found the time. That said, I'd like to encourage the use of that wiki more to build up a good Zork reference on the internet. I'm considering adding a link to the Zork Wiki in the "B...

I haven't tried Utopia Kingdoms as I'm not that interested in those types of games. I mainly played LoZ because it was Zork themed. Those numbers are pretty weak though. I'm surprised they're not doing better on Facebook. These types of games all work on feedback loops to get players coming back oft...

Wow, that's really impressive. I looked into developing my own implementation of the Z-engine in the past, but couldn't find any good documentation on it and I didn't have the time to reverse engineer it. I'll grab a copy of your code from your git repo and try it out soon (hopefully this weekend). ...

Yes! I forgot about that little timeline they inserted. That was a good read.

Looking forward to hearing more about this. Sorry about the links not working. We have a 2 post minimum for users being able to post links due to spam problems we have had in the past. You should be good to go now that you have 2 posts.

Zork Grand Inquisitor has now been released by GOG: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/zork_grand_inquisitor

It includes a digital copy of the manual and something called a "Zork chronologue". Since this is my favorite Zork game, I plan to buy this soon.

I hadn't kept up with Legends of Zork much over the past year or so. There was a dungeon planned? Now that would have been something that might have made me play it more.

It's too bad. I've been playing a little again this weekend. Hopefully Activision will do something else with Zork soon.

Legends of Zork will be shutting down on May 31. http://forums.joltonline.com/showthread.php?615393-Game-Closure&p=15074684#post15074684 If you still play, finish up soon! I'll try to get some time in before everything shuts down. This is sad news as there's nothing else on the horizon for Zork,...

Wow! Spam!And such an appropriate product for Zork geeks - a 1950's wedding dress. I'm sure we'll all be rushing over to that web site to buy one.

Oh, the irony! I think I'll let this one slide.
