"Put the string in the brick" was the silliest command in all three Zorks. I ended up sliding down the aquaducts about 300 times.

AMEN! I was able to get through all 3 Zorks without having to seek help (not saying it was easy, just saying I was -able- to). But the stupid "put the string in the brick" (isn't it obvious that makes dynamite?!), with no variation in syntax accepted, was just utterly ridiculous.
Infocom games were the -best-.
Does anyone else remember "A Mind Forever Voyaging"? Yeah, it was a liberal anti-conservative propaganda piece, but at the time I was too young to recognize that, and at the time I thought it was quite fun and well written.
I'm still pissed that they never made a sequel to Hitchhiker's Guide. (speaking of which, has anyone seen the promos for the movie? I caught the promo for the first time yesterday - looks awesome!)
