Now don't everyone laugh at once but I am very new at playing Zork. Well actually I have not even really played yet because I will get to a certin point in the game and need to stop but I can't save it so I just turn it off. I downloaded Zork 1 and have never played text games before. I tryed typing in the word save but it didn't work. I would appreciate any help I can get. I am looking forward to playing the game.

this is extrememly strange, I just tried in the Macintosh version ZORK I, and typed 'save' and immediately the save dialog came up, what version are you playing?

I just through of something, if you're playing the very old DOS version, you might need to use DOS commands :( I am sorry I really can't help with that :(

I just tried the version from my site... its a Z1.COM file and typing save works fine. Perhaps d/l that version, perhaps you have a non-saving demo?
