Hi Zork is available in the frots app in the apple App Store which is free and accessible for iPad and iPhone, please note if you try to use the frots app on Mac book you need to spell everything backwards for example if you try to type in (get apple) you will need to spell it as (tag elope), so do not try the frots app on your Mac book. I have a complete work through of Zork MIT version which was in the frots app and is completely accessible, you will need to listen very carefully in beneath the thief’s treasure room as it has fifty precise moves to get the gold card. Please leave a comment after each part of the Zork walk through so it may help others. Kind regards Jeff
