Someday, perhaps on a PS6 or Xbox 1440 console game, some clever individual will insert a "Call of Duty:Black Ops" minigame, which of course will in turn have the "Zork" minigame...


It's not "new" Zork, it's canonical 1984 Zork.http://inventory.getlamp.com/2010/11/09/the-inherent-problem...


My bad, fixed.


Bah... That computer doesn't look like a PC-compatible thing... It's also way too fast compared to an original IBM-PC. Watching the character output at BIOS speeds used to be painful.


Although I don't think there was a port of an actual stand-alone title (edit: I believe pong was one of them though) , the original System Shock had similar "gems".

I remember constantly loading the game just to play one of the mini-games, an arcade space fighting one.
