ZORK!!! What a great game! The graphics in my head were better than any on the new game consoles...

I actually DID solve ZORK, except for ONE thing. There was a little “clockwork bird” inside the egg that was always broken when I opened the egg, and it must have been worth 5 points, because that’s all I lacked to have all the points.

I did have help, though, another guy where I worked and I would go home every night and play it at our separate homes, and compare notes the next day.

That was a lot of fun.

Once out of frustration I killed the princess. The wizard suddenly appeared and said I was a sick and disgusting person and then struck me dead.

Those old text games were terrific!

You have to let the thief steal the egg, or you can just give it to him. He has the fine skills needed to open the egg without breaking the contents.

Then, of course, when you kill him in the Treasure Room, you can take both the egg and the bird.

And no, I didn't figure it out myself. I think someone told me the answer to that one.
