I enjoyed playing the Zork, I may have been at an advantage since I had played the "Return to Zork" when I was younger. Though, it is quite different but with similar commands keeping to the origin of the game. The mazes were still significantly more difficult to navigate. I suppose because they are randomly chosen everytime you enter, there seems to be no logical path to get back to somewhere I had been before I seemed to be forced to stumble upon it. For some reason I could not save my games which sucks cause I had all sorts of useful stuff. Also I grab possibly useless things for fear of needing them later. I’ll figure that part out but interesting use of vocabulary, although the system can only understand certain words the descriptions were lovely. I did not catch on to "Adventure" quite as well but see the connection. I kept getting stuck in the cave with no direction and have not quite figured out how to navigate out yet. This is why saving would be wonderful but for some reason it wouldn’t listen to my login pleas! My map of the CYOA is at: http://mason.gmu.edu/~jparker6/hyper
Hopefully it still works! I had a difficult time getting it to listen to me as well ;)
