Zork MMO You Say!!!!
I had almost given up hope that the world would see another Zork game. Fortunately I was wrong. Zork Legends has been announced by Jolt Online Gaming. Okay, yeah I know, who? Jolt Cola you say? The good news is according to Dylan Collins, CEO, he's a complete Zork geek. This said I would find it hard to believe any true Zork fan would sully the name of the game by putting out a piece of crap. The other good news, according to an interview posted on the forums, "....the game will be text based with illustrations of locations. " I know personally I've always wanted to play an MMO of Zork so the potential is very exciting. The premise behind the game is: The Great Underground Empire has recently fallen and the land is in disarray. The Royal Treasury has been sacked. The stock market has collapsed, leading even mighty FrobozzCo International to fire employees from throughout its subsidiaries. A craze of treasure-hunting has swept through the remnants of the Great Underground Empire. The New Zork Times reports that trolls, kobolds and other dangerous creatures are venturing far from their lairs. Adventurers and monsters are increasingly coming into conflict over areas rich with loot. It's a dangerous time to be a newly-unemployed traveling salesman, but it's also a great time to try a bit of adventuring. Check out http://www.legendsofzork.com/ to stay update on the release.
