The Great Underground Empire!

Image result for Zork I

Good evening ladies and gents, today is going to be the discussion about one of my favorite IFs I have ever played. Although, the last time I had played this game by myself, was about 6-8 years ago, so I was definitely in for a refresher. 

There are a lot of secrets surrounding the game Zork I, and many of them I have come to enjoy and be able to explore. Below is a playthrough of the beginning of the game I played. I spent about 1h30mins just cruising around and getting as many treasures as I could. 


With this speedrun, the Pt. 2 file was slightly corrupted with the audio, however this is a list of the treasures I was able to easily obtain:
1. Jeweled egg / Clockwork Canary

2. Grail
3. Leather Bag of Coins
4. Bell
5. Gold Coffin
6. Painting
7. Pot of Gold
8. Platinum Bar
9. and the Crystal Skull

I had terrible RNG when it came to the troll fight and had to 'restore' twice due to the fact that my character couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. 

However, other than that, the treasures were fairly easy to obtain as I had begun remembering the paths I used to take back in the day.

Overall the experience was fun, and I definitely recommend anyone to give the game a try. A lot of the walkthroughs online are out of date, so I can't really recommend those to you, but give it the good 'ole try and see if you can become a Master Adventurer!
