https://archive.org/details/msdos_Zork_II_-_The_Wizard_of_Frobozz_1981

https://archive.org/details/msdos_Zork_Zero_-_The_Revenge_of_Megaboz_1988
https://archive.org/details/msdos_Return_to_Zork

This requires internet to load the games, but does not use any data after that.

Malik Waqas SaGar

ZORK is known for its challenging puzzles that require logical thinking and attention to detail. Solving these puzzles provides a great sense of accomplishment. For fans of classic games, ZORK is a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of interactive fiction. I loved this game while playing . Recommended for Puzzle solvers .

Loved this game when I was younger. I'm happy to be able to play it again after finding the post on reddit. The only things I would like more is if the font was larger and after restoring the game, it would bring up the text where you left off last.

★★★

Love that I can play Zork anywhere I go now. But one feature I'd implement would be allowing the user to increase the font size or at least play the game in landscape mode. For now it seems to be stuck in portrait mode. Developer also seems to be rather poorly rated based on his other apps. Seems like he tends to abandon the project after releasing it. Doubt he reads feedback like this either.

After loading a different program this one does open and is playable. Problems: You can't save your progress which makes playing difficult. If you scroll off the app the keyboard will stop registering and you will need to restart the app to get the keyboard to register again. The text is also so small I need a magnifying to see it. Does the game function yes, is it what I was looking for no. For me this game isn't playable. I love Zork and I was really hoping this work be app for me.
