gaming; see <a href="../A/ADVENT.html"><i class="glossterm">ADVENT</i></a>. Originally written on MIT-DM
|

during 1977-1979, later distributed with BSD Unix (as a patched, sourceless
|
||
RT-11 FORTRAN binary; see <a href="../R/retrocomputing.html"><i class="glossterm">retrocomputing</i></a>) and
|
||
commercialized as ‘The Zork Trilogy’ by

<a href="../I/Infocom.html"><i class="glossterm">Infocom</i></a>. The FORTRAN source was later rewritten for
|
||
portability and released to Usenet under the name “<span class="quote">Dungeon</span>”.
|
||
Both FORTRAN “<span class="quote">Dungeon</span>” and translated C versions are available
|

at many FTP sites; the commercial Zork trilogy is available at <a href="http://www.ifarchive.org/" target="_top">http://www.ifarchive.org/</a>. See
