  Reminds me of when I stumbled upon these Zork maps: https://www.vaultofculture.com/vault/nst/2023/02/13/zorkmaps

  There are multiple versions of mainframe Zork available on GitHub. See https://eblong.com/infocom/#zorkmdl for this and everything else Infocom.

  Presumably parsers could be much more conversational and sophisticated today? Has anyone created such a thing?

  Does anyone know if zork is compiled to another language that is easily runnable in a local environment?

  What language is this written in?
