Yes, you actually can play Beyond Zork as a blind player, but you'll need a program such as Windowsfrotz or any other version for your preferred system. Then you can use the actual data file from Beyond Zork and load that into a version of Frotz. The graphics in the DOS version won't be a problem when playing the data file directly.
I think you can do the same with Zork Zero. Hugecave, on the other hand, is an expansion of the original adventure game by Crowther & Woods, there's also another, maybe more cannonical if you will, version of that game for many platforms called Adventure 770.

The graphics freaks took over which is why that game was never accessible. A game on the internet called hugecave is available and that doubles the adventure available in the original zork adventures. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
