"Many strange tales have been told of the fabulous treasure, exotic creatures, and diabolical puzzles in the Great Underground Empire. As an aspiring adventurer, you will undoubtedly want to locate these treasures and deposit them in your trophy case."
If you haven't played Zork, you haven't played IF... Okay, that's an exaggeration, but to me, the Zork games are what got me hooked on IF in the first place. It's perfect for anybody who likes D&D but is too antisocial or introverted to join in on a campaign as often as one might otherwise like to (guilty). Zork is iconic - it's too bad that it isn't as popular today as it ought to be. Besides that, it really is one of the most fun games (text-based or otherwise) that I've ever played all of the way through.
