Zork Day!

Post by Andy »

I don't have an original date, the earliest I can find is for Release Number 23. Which is the 28th April 1982.

So, unless anyone can find an earlier date, I suggest we dub this as Zork Day, as DAT suggests.

Nah... I really hate meeting my family at Xmas. And now I have to play through all that Zork again on april 28? Traditions suck... But if it has to be done...

Any other traditions apart from playing it through?

Hmmm, playing through might be ok, just play Zork1 and were good. Other traditions for it, hmm let me think.

if you think of good traditions post them here, we could if we have to many responses make a poll.

heres a news thread i started about the holiday:

Hm, picking up and storing away an item that lies around and obviously belongs to someone else seems appropriate to me.

If nothing else, a proper toast is certainly in order:
Want some Rye?
Course you do.

Here's to us.
Who's like us?

Damned few.
