zork (interactive fiction games in z-code format)
|
|
|
|
Zork was one of the earliest interactive fiction computer games, with
|
|
roots drawn from the original genre game, Colossal Cave Adventure.
|
|
|
|
This package includes Zork I, Zork II, Zork III, and Zork: The
|
|
Undiscovered Underground (aka "ztuu"). They are owned by Activision,
|
|
which released them as free downloads some time ago. The first 3 Zork
|
|
games were originally developed by Infocom.
|
|
|
|
To actually play the games, you'll need a z-code interpreter.
|
|
Currently available are frotz and fizmo (text) and zoom (X11). See
|
|
README.interpreters for details. This build includes a shell script
|
|
wrapper so you can run the games from the XFCE or KDE desktop menu,
|
|
or by typing the game name (zork1, zork2, zork3, ztuu) from the shell,
|
|
provided you have at least one interpreter installed.
|
|
|
|
This package includes the InvisiClues from the original games (as
|
|
plain text, so beware of spoilers). There are also walkthroughs
|
|
and downloadable PDF manuals for the first three games here:
