Is/was anyone a Fan of Text-based Games?

Anything that is gaming related that doesn't fit well anywhere else

I played Zork for the first time today from the black ops menu at my friends house. I thought it was amazing! I want to get I somehow, but im not sure how I could aquire/play it. I don't have a computer and I doubt Zork came out on any system I have. I could just buy black ops for Zork :lol:

Me too. I played it today and to me it just felt like another cod game. Nothing really that interesting. Now since playing it I would get it just for Zork on my ps3.

I know what you mean. Apparently there's an achievement for playing Zork too.

The achievement makes it all the better, I'm glad they did that for a classic

Be careful of the dark corners! Grues lurk there!
