Why are you not playing Zork?!

[kyogen]

I am playing it. Picked it up from GOG. But I'm more into ADOM right now--awesome mix of text and ASCII.

 

[Rastien]

I already have a large back log of games i need to work through i'm not adding another one to my list.

Also txt based adventure games are gettign somewhat out dated.

I'm too busy playing Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll to bother with Zork. Even when I'm not playing Trinity, I still have Sonic the Hedgehog(2006), Rachet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Resonance of Fate, Cross X Edge, Jak & Daxter Collection, Devil May Cry HD Collection, Theatrythm Final Fantasy and Picross 3D to play.

Not including all the times I go back to play Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Guitar Hero 3/Warriors of Rock, Skyrim, Oblivion, Dragon's Dogma, Kingdoms of Amalur, Tales of Graces f, Tales of Symphonia, Dragon Age: Origins, White Knight Chronicles II, Prince of Persia Trilogy, Sly Collection.

My gaming schedule is simply too busy to fit Zork in there anywhere.

I find this relevant...<.<


Just sayin...

but honestly I just haven't had the time... and I have so many games on my to play list... and not to mention school...<.<

I never tried the original but I played Return to Zork as a kid up some point where it crashed every time v:

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Because I tried it and I got bored.

 

[A_Play_On_Words]

Mostly because it's not 1980 anymore.
I love Zork; it was the first game I played, and instilled a love of text (and then graphic) adventure games in me that has never died, but I've evolved as a gamer, and, sadly, moved on.

 

[Ruzinus]

...because I'm afraid of grues.

 

[ScrabbitRabbit]

I really enjoy Zork, I especially enjoy finding new and weird things to type that it'll actually recognize.

Classic :']

Not sure I'd call Skyrim an "adventure game" though...

Zork is hard.

Ball-crushingly hard. 0_o

(I suck at adventure games. )

 

[Biodeamon]

becuase i had to literally program my own version of it for my computer's class. I think i'm good.

No seriously i would attach the file here if i could, i'm not bluffing.

 

[teh_Canape]

I couldn't ever for the life of me get past the troll in the basement

 

[lord.jeff]

It's an okay game, I found to many of the puzzles to revolve around guess work and I could never get my bearings in text based games.

"You have just been robbed blind by that fucking thief"
"It's dark in here, you could be eaten by a grue"

I've got it on my computer somewhere, but I'm a bigger fan of the more modern style of text adventure.

If anyone wants to play it, you can play it right in your browser here:

[malestrithe]

I'm not playing it because I simply do not care to. Gaming has evolved to the point where we don't need to use our imagination to run games anymore.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Personally I'm not playing Zorc for several reasons:

1. I have sex with women sometimes.
2. I play guitar to crowds of adoring people at others.
3. I'm writing a novel.
4. It's not 1977 anymore, and things have kind of come on a little way since then.

Seriously, I played Zorc once or twice when I was in university and had the time to divulge frustrating time sinks, but nowadays I prefer my adventures big and spectacular, and if I wanted to play an adventure game like that I'd probably pick one of the Ultima series anyway.

 

[FalloutJack]

Well, why aren't you? This is most fun I've had in an adventure game(s) since Skyrim, and it doesn't even have any graphics what so ever.

I don't want to be eaten by a grue.
