           /zork/ The second of the great early experiments in
          computer fantasy gaming; see ADVENT.  Zork was originally
          written on MIT-DM during the late 1970s, later distributed

          binary (see retrocomputing) and commercialised as "The Zork
          Trilogy" by Infocom.  The Fortran source was later rewritten
