My first Zork experience was on a C64, too - but I didn't solve it until I was a bit older (on a Mac SE in college). I'm sooo tempted now to drag out my old disks and play a few games (or some of the freeware/shareware ones available online).

I think, though, you've given me a new sig line (thank you!)

And to stay OT - I chose word games in the poll because that's closest to what I play mostly...word and number puzzle games online. After checking my plants, of course .
