Zork /zork/ n.
The second of the great early experiments in computer fantasy gaming; see [ADVENT]. Originally written on MIT-DM during 1977-1979, later distributed with BSD Unix (as a patched, sourceless RT-11 FORTRAN binary; see [retrocomputing]) and commercialized as `The Zork Trilogy' by [Infocom]. The FORTRAN source was later rewritten for portability and released to Usenet under the name "Dungeon". Both FORTRAN "Dungeon" and translated C versions are available at many FTP sites. See also [grue].
