Be a REAL retro geek!

Forget Square Pegs, playing Burger Time, re-watching V or even making references to old Gary Gygax manuals. If you want to be a TRUE retro 80s nerd, you should bust out your Radio Shack TRS-80 or your Commodore 64 or your Apple II+ and play Zork.

“Your sword is glowing with a faint blue glow.” Let’s get this GOING!

Edited to add: Eeep! You can play RIGHT NOW! Play Zork online.

P.S. “Zork” is a text-adventure. It’s a pre-cursor to games like “King’s Quest” and “Lesiure Suit Larry” in which you give commands to an avatar [...]
