The Beginning of the RPG: Zork, 1981

[@SazeedRaihan]

"Zork maps bring back so many memories! Thanks for the nostalgic trip down memory lane. Can't believe how intricate those text-based worlds were!"

[@ewlynnn]

always cool seeing Zork videos. My grandparents worked at infocom and although didn't work on Zork worked on most of the other games they put out. Instead of bedtime stories as a kid my mom would play Zork and let me and my brother make the decisions. We never got far especially since we would always eat the sandwich which as far as I know soft locks you.

It was so great. One of my number one nostalgia computer games. Born in 1976.

You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Came in expecting an analysis on video game level design, got eaten by a grue.

[@learnwithmapster]

hah! Yeah, I'll probably get a lot of that... hard to talk about game maps without being confused with levels!!

8:16 "The engravings translate to 'This space intentionally left blank'". HA! IBM joke.

Has anyone taken chat G.P.T. And merged it with infocom games to be better than either? To expand options and create a better game?

[@learnwithmapster]

Cool idea

[@rkcpek]

@@learnwithmapster I've seen no attempts at this. Imagine the kitchen of the White house. type "Look in the refrigerator" it replies. "the refrigerator is off and empty save for a rotten banana". It's not scripted but an easily described random item.

[@learnwithmapster]

@@rkcpek Yes, having a general storyline but adding atmosphere and endless interaction via AI -- shouldn't be too hard to make!

[@rkcpek]

@@learnwithmapster But I am no programmer. I can only dream. Thats like AI voice for Daggerfall Unity.
