One of my ongoing wish projects is to learn to program a pdp-10 so I can port
Frotz to it.

Zork (and anything else on a Zmachine)
Ethan,
You should know better. Zork originated on a PDP-10 running ITS. I
first
encountered it on a TOPS-20 system, since the folks at the Dynamic
Modeling
Lab ported their variant of Lisp to TENEX and TOPS-20.
It's publicly available to play on the Toad-2 at LCM, and I removed the
office hours check from the startup program years and years and year
ago.
