Zork I
Revision 88 / Serial number 840726

This Infocom story file has been made playable for the ZX Spectrum +3 by Alessandro Grussu with ZXZVM (ZX Zork Virtual Machine) v1.12, a Z-machine for the Spectrum +3 and PCW by John Elliott, 15-05-2016; parts by Garry Lancaster, 23-04-2006.

The ZXZVM.BAS program has been modified in order to automatically load the specific story file hosted on this disk. Furthermore, the Commodore 128 font has been replaced by the Spec5 Bold font by Damien Guard for better readability.

To launch the game, open the .DSK file with your emulator, select "Loader" at the +3 start menu and press ENTER. When the prompt appears, choose 32 or 64 characters per row. Please note that certain games (e.g. Beyond Zork, Bureaucracy, Trinity) will require 64 characters per row to display the text correctly. The game will warn you if the chosen value is inadequate.

During play, pressing the UP key will change the background color, while pressing the DOWN key will change the text color.

Also please note that many Infocom adventure games will require certain information to proceed, which must be looked for in the original documentation which came with them. There are several places across the Internet hosting scans of manuals, extras etc. A good starting point is The Infocom Gallery:
