Description: Zork is a text-based fantasy adventure game series that was first released in 1977 under the title Dungeon. The game was made for PCs, the first version being made for the PDP-10. The game features no graphics or art, and is entirely text based, playing out like an interactive book. The developers, as the company Infocom, expanded and split the game into three titles—Zork I: The Great Underground Empire, Zork II: The Wizard of Frobozz, and Zork III: The Dungeon Master—which were released commercially for a range of personal computers beginning in 1980. Players take on the role of an unnamed adventurer who is trapped in a dungeon called The Great Underground Empire and type in contextual commands to escape the dangers of the dungeon.
