No reason why you can't live the adventure today! http://pot.home.xs4all.nl/infocom/zork1.html

Protip: Stay out of the dark. :)

Honestly, the game does have a great mix of humor, puzzles, and exploration.

This is fun, took up way too much of my time though... but fun.

Thanks for linking it. I'm, well, lost. But at least I've discovered where that line "You are likely to be eaten by a grue" comes from.

I should make a map...

Spoiler alert. http://almy.us/image/dungeon.jpg This was the one used by the developers, if I remember correctly.

"You are likely to be eaten by a grue"

I think it should say very likely. :)
