Zork
« on: August 19, 2008, 01:09:21 PM »
A classic text based adventure transferred to a fully human game. The rules are simple. The scenario is started. A person posts an action. A different person can then post the results. Please include an up to date inventory in your posts. This game does not have to follow the actual Zork.
I start.

You are standing in front of a white house in the middle of a clearing in a large forest. There is a mailbox in front of you.

Inventory:
You are carrying nothing

[The cacti strangle you as you approach.]
Ow! Didn't your mother teach you not to play with sharp objects? Better luck next time.

Game Over.

(Just so there's no confusion:)

Quit?                    New Game?
