Notes on  ZORK 

The second of the great early experiments in computer fantasy gaming;
see ADVENT. Originally written on MIT-DM during 1977-1979 ,
later distributed with BSD Unix (as a patched, sourceless RT-11 FORTRAN
binary; see RETROCOMPUTING) and commercialized as `The Zork
Trilogy' by INFOCOM. The FORTRAN source was later rewritten for
portability and released to Usenet under the name "Dungeon". Both
FORTRAN "Dungeon" and translated C versions are available at many FTP
sites; the commercial Zork trilogy is available at
http://www.ifarchive.org/. See also GRUE.
