The Zork Anthology

For those that haven't grown up on interactive fiction, be warned, as early examples of this genre (i.e. the Zork series) are brutal and unforgiving with many interactive fiction tropes including "dead man walking" scenarios, hidden exits and the occasional need to carefully construct the correct sentence. I can only recommend this to those with a curiosity about early interactive fiction as a genre. Planetfall was my favourite in the bunch thanks to its sci-fi setting and the addition of Floyd the robot (but not by much).

You shouldn't be charging money for these. They are free to play on any platform or online if you choose.

zork 1 is such a fun adventure i was excited for the second one... until i played it. the bank area is unpassable. i looked at all the walkthroughs and no, none of them are helpful. they all just stop and move on leaving HUGE gaps like they dont want to talk about it. so... yeah. i typically dont call a game bad based on difficulty but. jesus if it makes the game unplayable or even UNBEATABLE then yeah its bad. i dont know if its a patch i just know it's not me because literally everywhere i look no one has an answer for the bank area.

A text based game? For 6 bucks? Hell no. I'm all for old games, but it's appalling how shameless people are. If you're going to re release a game from before 2000 at least, it needs to be even less than 3 dollars at least.

Charging for a public domain game? Seriously? This is.. illegal on so many levels. Just.. wow.
