(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Zork is a simple game, made for the really old computer in the 80's.
The game is sort of like dungeons and dragons.
When playing this game you will not receive anything for beating the game, you will get a trophy for just playing.


I wanted to figure out how to play it, for something to do down the road when i get bored of black ops, i asked if anyone can help and no one answered so i searched and thanks to wikipedia.

all that i could find was a partial command guide. good luck i'm gunna give it another shot tonight.

By the way, if you didn't know to access the game Zork, just type Zork into the computer in the torture room at the main menu on black ops.

Commands


In the Zork games, the player is not limited to verb-noun commands, such as "take lamp", "open mailbox", and so forth. Instead, the parser supports more sophisticated sentences such as "put the lamp and sword in the case", "look under the rug", and "drop all except lantern". The game understands many common verbs, including "take", "drop", "examine", "attack", "climb", "open", "close", "count", and many more. The games also support commands to the game (rather than in the game) such as "save" and "restore", "script" and "unscript" (which begin and end a text transcript of the game text), "restart", and "quit".


In all of the Zork text adventures, the following commands apply:

n, s, e, w: Short for "go north", "go south", etc.

nw, ne, sw, se: Short for "go northwest", "go southwest", etc.

u and d: Short for "go up" and "go down"

i: Reveals a player's inventory

verbose: Gives full descriptions after each command (rather than omitting details already given to the player)

score: Displays the player's current score, number of moves, and ranking

Do a barrel roll!
I already beat Zork on BO and you don't receive anything for doing it. Just type Zork walkthrough into google and you should find a guide to beat the game pretty quickly. Just remember to save often.
