Hail Elric,
Zork was such a fantastic game, I do agree with you there! What I liked best about the non-graphic versions (pre 86' or so I believe) was that you were forced too use your imagination, and usually what you thought up was far better than any illustrated computer graphic, especially in those days of computers. For me, it was a dark, eerie feeling when it described the house and the celler. I felt there wasn't much for a storyline, but the puzzles were pretty good. All in all, I loved Zork. I also bought Zork Beyond but never played it.
