Ode to Zork

Posted on July 14, 2010 by Michael Froomkin

I'm apparently the last person in the world to discover this, but nerdcore hip hopper MC Frontalot did an ode to Zork, It Is Pitch Dark

What's Zork, you ask? Well, grasshopper, get Zork I, Zork II, and Zork III (There are common installation instructions). But don't plan to get much else done for a while.

    If you dig on Zork, online archivist Jason Scott is putting the finishing touches on a massive documentary on the whole Interactive Fiction genre, from start to finish, called appropriately enough, “Get Lamp”.

    Also really great is his ode to 419 spammers (streamable from that site; the whole album is based on spam subject lines, various artists).
