In this episode of Threepcast, your hosts the Ridgways venture back to the dawn of adventure gaming to play the landmark text adventure game – Zork I: The Great Underground Empire. Discussion includes the history of Zork, how it influenced later games, and whether the game is still palatable for modern gamers. But don’t listen to this podcast in the dark – you are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Next time, we journey back to Monkey Island for a third time to review The Curse of Monkey Island.
