> "I challenge you to Zork!"

Nodding solemnly, Death telekinetically wheels in a nearby Tandy 500 displaying the Zork opening screen.

"WHOEVER LASTS THE LONGEST IS THE WINNER. I GET THE FIRST MOVE."

Death turns to the screen and places its (conspicuously hairy) hands on the keyboard.


> wait

Time passes...

Death says "LET'S SEE... WHAT IS THIS "GRUE" IN THE CORNER?"

> examine grue

Man, you've never played this game before, have you? The Grue devours you before you have a chance to scream.


*** You have died ***


Would you like to start over, restore a saved position, or end this session of Zork? (Type RESTART, RESTORE, or QUIT):

"WHAT?"


> "What the frotz?! You... lost on the first move?! Sweet merciful Artemis!!"

"IT DIDN'T TELL ME WHAT A "GRUE" IS."

Death, now much humbler than it was two turns ago, slinks to the side, inviting you to begin your game.
