User Rating: 8.8 | Zork I PC

"Hey...there isn't any graphics...this game has gotta suck!!!!!!" I hear that comment almost anytime I play Zork on my laptop. Well I am here to say that you don't need graphics and sound to make a grat game.

Graphics: The game is text based, there are NO graphics perse, but you are supposed to picture the scene in your mind. Sometimes the imagination can be the best graphics of all.

Sound: There isn't any sound. Just put your favorite CD in your stereo. Thats what I do.

Gameplay: The game tells you the scene. You then type in commands that have to do with the scene....such as pick up large sword...or open door. The computer recognizes the command and does it.

Overall: This game is a classic. Sierra Adventure games would never have come to be with out this early game! Infocom has the game for FREE on thier website. GET IT!
