New Level - Zork Maze

SharonM · Post by **SharonM** » Fri May 07, 2004 1:36 am

I hope Carolyn doesn't mind, but she inspired me!

I thought it might be fun to translate the maze under the white house in Zork I into a Wonderland level. Naturally, I had to adapt it a little since you can't go up or down in Wonderland, and I had to make it visual since Zork is a totally text game. Hope you all enjoy it!

BTW Carolyn, thank you so much for reminding me of Zork and for the link. I downloaded all three available. Again, I hope you don't mind.

This was good Sharon, loved the wee notes.

I don't care who makes the levels, just love to see new ones coming on.

I'm sure this is a great compliment to Carolyn, wish someone would think as much of one of my levels; it's the best form of flattery!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks

M.A.D.

Hi Sharon...

Nooooo..... I do not mind at all....

.... I am just glad somebody, besides me, remembered and loved Zork.... Zork was my big tumble into computer games...

.... I have not recovered yet....

I am looking forward to doing this maze... and thinking of Zork.... Those were the days, weren't they??.....

Thanks M.A.D. and Carolyn. I really loved the game too. It was my first intro to RPG gaming and I've been hooked ever since. The messages are hints to the actual game. I thought it might be fun for those of us who actually played the game.

Actually M.A.D., I'm still working, off and on, on a couple of your levels. I don't have a lot of time lately, so I'm kind of behind in playing levels. I still download them, I just don't get a lot of time to play them right away. I love all of your levels and I think the poetry theme was great!

Carolyn, I am truly amazed at the volume and quality of your levels. I haven't played one of your levels yet that I haven't liked.

I truly did mean it as a compliment to you and a thank you for reminding me of Zork.

I worried that others might perceive this level as an attempt to steal your thunder. I'm glad that you realized that wasn't the case.

Thank you both for your kind comments.

Wonderful maze, Sharon... I had forgotten about the knife... and a few of the other things... haha...

... The notes were wonderful... brought back many good memories... of my pal Zork...

Yes, Carolyn, since I was using the Zork maze, I thought I'd throw in a few of the items. Of course the clock isn't a lantern, but it was the closest I could get.

I thought a few hints might be in order too for anyone who has downloaded the game and hasn't played it before.

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it.

Your very welcome Salin. I'm glad you liked it. I started with 5 minutes on it and decided that didn't leave enough time.
