Anyone remember Zork? I used to play it on Apple II-C 20 yrs ago. What a flashback. I even wrote my own version in BASIC. Java required.

OMG Zork... wow talk about going back. Wasn't Zork a spin-off of HitchHikers Guide?

Hmmm, I dunno. I think it may been evolved from Adventure. Ahhh ... back when plain text RPG games were cutting edge.

Yep, I popped that now Mousie. Speaking of HitchHikers Guide, anyone else as dissapointed with the movie as I was?

For the record, HHGtG came many years after Zork (and all the rest of the Infocom games), which itself was inspired by the original Adventure.

I believe the original King's Quest is playable online somewhere...

Haha, wasn't LSL the one where you had to answer questions to prove you were old enough to play the game?

I played Zork I years ago as well - on an Apple IIE. I think Invictus would find this interesting because he mentioned in a clip a couple of months ago that he liked Zork too.

Thanks for the find!

Anybody played LSL Magna Cum Laude? I think it's the most hilarious game of the entire Larry series. This time, the younger nephew Larry Lovage is our hero. A college student, who believes his uncle Larry Laffer was a legend among girls. When you wander around the town, you come across the old Lefty's Bar (from the first Larry). Inside the bar, grey-haired Larry sits near a table and talks to himself: "Oh, good old days... Those low-resolution, 16-color VGA chicks..."

Those low-resolution, 16-color VGA chicks..."
Hahahhaa... aptly put invictus!

I never got to play that one though.
