Rating: 5/5
You find yourself stuck in the middle of a forest with a stange mailbox in front of you and an even stranger house. Upon searching the house you run across a trap door, upon entering you find yourself in the great underground empire where you fight off beasts and explore the deep dark undergrounds. You're goal is to find the twenty treasures of Zork and place them in the empty trophy case in the house. Upon completion you gain enterence to a stone barrow that ends the game. The game takes into onsideration the number of moves you take to get to the end and the number of treasures you collect to give you a score out of 350, where all treasures collected yields a score of 350. The game has no visuals, using only text to interact with the world. While this makes some parts of the game very tedious and annoying, like the maze, it is well implemented and you can use various natural commands to progress through the game. Some of the commands are: Examine/search get/take open run/walk/go east / e or up / u kill/attak save / restore quit /restart wait and many other inputs can be used to do various interactions.
