truly a classic of early computer games. thanks for this set. :)
L4stMinuteHero 17 Apr 2022 04:38
Finally finished! Man, these 2nd quest achievements are going to be tough since I'm going to have to figure out a good way to make my way through with the items I need. The coal one will probably trip me up the most since I need to take it to the Rainbow first before turning it into a diamond. I'm up for it though! Thanks for the set. It's been a blast!
Kiparis88 20 Apr 2022 08:25
Awww yisss!! thank you for the set!! I've looooong waited for this to be played and completed :)

Thank you @guindev! Was fun to revisit this classic text-adventure. And not only the regular quest but all that wacky stuff as well... really makes one familiar with the humor buried in Zork I.
DarkArgentino6 4 Mar 2023 04:42
How do you save in game? I type "SAVE", it brings me to the menu with the slot, drive, and the position but it says it failed after I inputted the numbers.
Stomper 8 Mar 2023 20:54
@DarkArgentino6 -- I created a blank DOS disk and put it in the 2nd drive slot. When prompted for saving, I'd use Slot 6 Drive 2... example:
Position: 1
Slot: 6
Drive: 2

CiderpressWin is a utility program that you can use to create blank disks, or download a blank AppleDOS disk on the internet.

Really good set, especially the 2nd quest because it really makes you think and you can't just use a walkthrough. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

General warning here: if you discover a treasure but don't collect it, the Thief might take it instead. If this happens, you won't get the achievement for collecting it after you kill the Thief!
