Zork

I watched the documentary "GET LAMP" last night and it made me want to play a new Interactive Fiction game. I've played a good deal of Adventure, but never really got into Zork. Today that changes.

I already have two pages of maps and the world is starting to come together. The entire game will be streaming on twitch, so check it out.

Right now I've managed to get into this little murder shack in the woods and now I'm stealing stuff and hopefully getting into more trouble.

Again, I'm mapping it by hand so this is not a quick and easy endeavor.

 A staircase descends into the darkness. Time to go.

Tales of Maj'Eyal World Map and Walkthrough via Dungeon Order

In order to beat the game, carefully tackle the dungeons of TOME in the follow order:

Trollmire, (Derth Arena), Norgos, Heart of Gloom, Scintillating Caves, Rhaloren Camp, Kor'Pul, Old Forest/Lake Nur, Sandworm Lair, Maze, Halfling Complex, ruined Dungeon, Lumberjack Village, Golem Graveyard, Daikara, Last Hope Graveyard, Dreadfell, Reknor, Unremarkable Cave, Ardunghol, Vor Armoury, Briagh's Lair, Backup guardians, return east (of your choice), orc breeding pit, underwater dungeon, some prides, Eruan, rest of prides, slime tunnels, High Peak. 

With these two valuable tools, anyone can take it to the top. "LukeP" made the list, and "Wayist" made the map.

Pitfall Map & Solution

This map will let you beat Pitfall! with enough practice. I still requires lots of tricky Scorpion jumps (18 of them) and about 19 minutes of running. Getting all 32 treasures in Pitfall has always been one of my Holy Grails of gaming, and I hope I can accomplish this goal very, very soon.

Back in the day they expected you to map the game out yourself. I love mapping games out, but I'd already looked at this map years ago and remembered some things about it, so a personal mapping seemed insincere. I doubt anyone playing after 1998 mapped the game out on his or her own.
