I want to clarify a few things about your reading and gaming assignment for Monday. First, you need to get a version of Zork that you can play on your computer. I gave you a link to a web version, but you should only use that as a last resort. If you're a Mac user, follow the directions here. If you're on Windows, I found that the version here works pretty well, at least on XP.
Your goal with Zork is to get passed the moment Murray discusses in the chapter. As you can infer from her quotation of it, you need to find some way to go down a trap door. This is very early in the game, so it shouldn't take you long to find it. read more »
