Kingdom of Loathing is supposed to keep you entertained for just a few
minutes ad ay as well, and they have an entire plot, backstory and
exploration system. This one's seriously a rebuilt version of dragon tavern,
almost looks like they got the source code from the DT guys. I'll still play
now and again cause I admit I've got a bit of an ego for power so I can
sometimes get into number crunchers, but yeah, this totally isn't zork. I
hope one of the first things they work on is balance, right now it seems
there's one, and only one way to get far in the game, and it takes a very
spacific strategy to pull off. I've hit level 11 and I'm getting pretty
solidly rocked by monsters that I should be able to at least stand up to,
with a decent defense and a high attack roll.

well they did say that they will develop it more as it goes along, its not
supposed to keep one in for more than 20 mins a day its not really a long
winded thing.
anyway this is only 1.0 or whatever it is so I am sure they are still
taking in suggestions, and this is only day 1 of the system.

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed myself, its kind of like dragon tavern
without the originality. The sub locations don't even have descriptions.
Pretty much looks like a dragon tavern ripoff, battle system, skills, even
the perks aside from naming are the same. Seems rather hardcore number
oriented, which isn't what I was expecting, and the strategy element is
weird. I'll probably play it for a while, but it'll get old just like
every other number cruncher out there.

Well, I've had a look at the game, but thus far I'm slightly disappointed
with the lack of description in it, it's just "you encountered an X and
rolled an X" nowhere near the richness of the zork games i've played.
I'll carry on with it for a bit though, just in case this is an initial
problem, ---- afterall there are lots of areas I stil can't get to.
Beware the Grue!

Hello everyone. This morning, I played my first cession of Legends of
Zork. I created my first character, Eldrex. He's a recently fired magic
sword salesman. I've managed to advance two levels and survive my first
day's explorations of the dark forest near the white house. The game is
completely playable for us blind Zork fans. However, when it comes to
more minor points like choosing your character avatar, there are no alt
tags on the choices. I have no idea whether what I perceive as a buff,
rough and ready male adventurer is depicted visually as a wafer-thin
fashion model. The map is certainly functional enough for us as the
locations near enough to travel to are properly labelled. Exploration
doesn't rely on seeing anything. You just click on the "explore the dark
forest" or a similar link in order to search an area and have
encounters. It's a lot like Legend of the Green Dragon in that regard. I
hope those who are interested will try out this new browser based online
game
and take the time to send feedback to the developers. Happy adventures,
everyone.
