NAME
zork - the game of dungeon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/zork
DESCRIPTION
_D_u_n_g_e_o_n is a computer fantasy simulation based on Adventure
and on Dungeons & Dragons, originally written by Lebling,
Blank, and Anderson of MIT. In it you explore a dungeon
made up of various rooms, caves, rivers, and so on. The
object of the game is to collect as much treasure as possi-
ble and stow it safely in the trophy case (and, of course,
to stay alive.)
Figuring out the rules is part of the game, but if you are
stuck, you should start off with "open mailbox", "take
leaflet", and then "read leaflet". Additional useful com-
mands that are not documented include:
quit (to end the game)
!cmd (the usual shell escape convention)
> (to save a game)
< (to restore a game)
