Why are you not playing Zork?!

[Sacman]

I find this relevant...<.<


Just sayin...

but honestly I just haven't had the time... and I have so many games on my to play list... and not to mention school...<.<

 

[Chemical Alia]

I never tried the original but I played Return to Zork as a kid up some point where it crashed every time v:

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Because I tried it and I got bored.

 

[A_Play_On_Words]

Mostly because it's not 1980 anymore.
I love Zork; it was the first game I played, and instilled a love of text (and then graphic) adventure games in me that has never died, but I've evolved as a gamer, and, sadly, moved on.

 

[Ruzinus]

...because I'm afraid of grues.

 

[ScrabbitRabbit]

I really enjoy Zork, I especially enjoy finding new and weird things to type that it'll actually recognize.

>Auto-cannibalism is not the answer.

Classic :']

Not sure I'd call Skyrim an "adventure game" though...

 

[Mr. GameBrain]

Zork is hard.

Ball-crushingly hard. 0_o

(I suck at adventure games. )

 

[Biodeamon]

becuase i had to literally program my own version of it for my computer's class. I think i'm good.

No seriously i would attach the file here if i could, i'm not bluffing.

I couldn't ever for the life of me get past the troll in the basement

 

[lord.jeff]

It's an okay game, I found to many of the puzzles to revolve around guess work and I could never get my bearings in text based games.

"You have just been robbed blind by that fucking thief"
"It's dark in here, you could be eaten by a grue"

I've got it on my computer somewhere, but I'm a bigger fan of the more modern style of text adventure.

I'm not playing it because I simply do not care to. Gaming has evolved to the point where we don't need to use our imagination to run games anymore.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Personally I'm not playing Zorc for several reasons:

1. I have sex with women sometimes.
2. I play guitar to crowds of adoring people at others.
3. I'm writing a novel.
4. It's not 1977 anymore, and things have kind of come on a little way since then.

Seriously, I played Zorc once or twice when I was in university and had the time to divulge frustrating time sinks, but nowadays I prefer my adventures big and spectacular, and if I wanted to play an adventure game like that I'd probably pick one of the Ultima series anyway.

 

[FalloutJack]

Well, why aren't you? This is most fun I've had in an adventure game(s) since Skyrim, and it doesn't even have any graphics what so ever.

I don't want to be eaten by a grue.

I just spammed "Kill Troll with Sword" three or four times, and it died.

(the sword in question is that "Elvish Sword of Great Antiquity" in your trophy room at the house.)

 

[PH3NOmenon]

Because Zork: Grand Inquisitor had my sword blowing glue.

 

[Twilight_guy]

I did play it. Then I got bored with and went to do something else. Now I'm playing a different game. Hey, why aren't you playing the game I am! It's good!

There are better browser versions, imo. This one doesn't even recognize the "eat self" command =[
