 * Game Description
 
-Zork is an interactive, text-based computer game originally released
-in 1980. This series, split into three separate games, introduced a
-robust and sophisticated text parser to gamers. People were largely used
-to the simple commands used in the popular game
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure][Colossal Cave
-Adventure]], but Zork allowed users to send more complex commands that
-included prepositions and conjunctions.
-
-Zork tracks your score as you explore the map, find tools, and collect
-trophy items (e.g., a jewel-encrusted egg). When you place your trophy
-items in the trophy case found in the Living Room area, you gain score
-points. Collecting the Twenty Treasures of Zork and placing them within
-the trophy case wins the game. However, you must explore the map, solve
-puzzles, and avoid being eaten by a grue to collect these treasures.

 * In-Game Screenshots
 
-After playing the game (for the first time ever) for several weeks
-around 2014, I was finally able to beat the game with some online help
-to find the last couple items. As I was writing this post, I installed
-the game again to grab some screenshots to show off the true glory of
-this game. As noted in
-[[https://www.filfre.net/2012/01/exploring-zork-part-1/][Jimmy Maher's
-playthrough]], the original Zork games looked quite a bit different due
-to the older hardware of computers like the Apple II and multiple bug
-fixes that Infocom pushed out after the game's initial release. My
-play-through uses the
-[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/570580/Zork_Anthology/][Zork
-Anthology]] version, which utilizes DOSBox on Windows.
-
-The first screenshot here shows the introductory information, which
-doesn't include instructions of any kind for the player. If you haven't
-played text adventures before, try to use simple commands like "go
-west," "look around," or "hit troll with elvish sword."
-
-In this second screenshot, we see the player has entered the house and
-found the trophy case in the living room. The lantern and sword in this
-room allow the player to explore dark areas and attack enemies. If you
-don't use the lantern, you won't be able to see anything in dark areas,
-and you may be eaten by a grue.
-
-Finally, we see that the player has found the first treasure: a
-jewel-encrusted egg. These treasures can be taken back to the house and
-placed in the trophy case or carried until you feel like you want to put
-things away.

 * Conclusion
 
-It's been quite a few years since I first played Zork, but I clearly
-remember the late nights and bloodshot eyes that helped me find all the
-treasures. This game is well worth the time and effort, even though the
-text-based aspect may be off-putting to gamers who didn't have to grow
-up playing games without graphics. However, I believe that the strategy
-and skills learned in early video games like Zork can actually help you,
-even when playing newer games.
