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. Johnny
