Ok, so last night I decided to pick up a classic NES game to pass some time. The well-known, popular Dragon Warrior.
I just played for an hour to kill some time before work and, crappity crap, I managed to hit the "reset" button on the NES emulator I'm using on my MacBook and lost that hour of progress. Man, I'm pissed.
Oh-well.
"In June 1977 the original Zork was born in the computer lab of MIT. Originally called Dungeon, some legal tussling led to the peaceful name change to Zork."
"The game takes place in the Zork calendar year 948 GUE (although the passage of time is not notable in gameplay). The player steps into the deliberately vague role of an "adventurer". The game begins near a White House in a small, self-contained area. Although the player is given little instruction, the house provides an obvious point of interest.
"When the player enters the house, it yields a number of intriguing
objects: an ancient brass lantern, an empty trophy case, an intricately
engraved sword, etc. Beneath the rug a trap door leads down into a dark
dungeon. But what initially appears to be a dungeon is actually one of
several entrances to a vast subterranean land--the Great Underground
Empire. The player soon encounters dangerous creatures, including
deadly grues, an axe-wielding troll, a giant cyclops and a nimble-fingered thief."
