Well, that is technically a reimplementation of the original Zork for
the PDP-10.
It is not the same as Zork 1-3, although there are similarities.
The original Zork was way too big, when Infocom was founded and they
wanted to release Zork for microcomputers. So they split Zork into three
parts. Zork 1 is pretty much most of the original Zork, but without
parts on the other side of the river (if I remember right).
Zork 2 is parts of the other side of the river, and then lots of totally
new stuff that does not exist in PDP-10 Zork. Zork 3 is more new stuff
that don't exist in PDP-10 Zork, and then also the endgame, which I
remember as being pretty much straight off the same.

I have an image of a
PDP 11 RSTS/E with Dungeon (zork 1 -3) installed.
It's also available to play online... on a "real" emulated PDP 11...
