Zork I: The Great Underground Empire

(Infocom, 1980)
The
last (alphabetical) member of Techtite's List of Top
50 Multimedia Classics, is also the best. This
was the game to put adventure gaming on the map. While some of
the puzzle strength was in finding out what --if anything-- the
text parser would allow you to type in as a command, the story
was inspired and thought-provoking. To quote the classic line
from The Washington Post, "If it's 2 in the
morning, it must be ZORK. Not even Ted Koppel can keep the nation
up so late." It spawned countless sequels, spin-offs and
game "clones," which is no surprise. Zork is a classic
to the highest degree!
