Game review: Zork 1



Zork 1 was one of the first interactive fiction game that was published by infocom in December 1980. It was a very famous text adventure trilogy game. It started with Zork 1 to Zork 2 and the last is Zork 3. The Zork 1 was sold 378,987 copies until 1986.



This game might be look boring for some people as it is only played by using keyboard because this game is base on text that we type. It does not has any graphic picture to support the story of the game but for some people it it very interesting to play and finish the story in this game as player need to use the imagination while playing the game. But I believe this game is interesting and fun enough in the 80s.

The main purpose of this game is to collect all the 20 treasures. First, the player is inside a house with little clue of what he can do to get thing such as weapons that could help him escape the house and be able to survive from danger and solve some problem that player will meet. This game has also provided player with the total score and number of move so that they could know how many points player has got in the number of movement.

As time goes, this game could not be found in the original, but some people have manage to make it playable in some websites and also apple iphone provide the application to play this game on the iPhone with the similar interface.
