Here's one for those who found inspiration in our Spaceship! game development experiment last year: Zork, the original Infocom text adventure classic, with impossible challenges and angry, knife-wielding grues in every dark passage, is set to be recreated as a web-based massively multiplayer online game.
From the intro:
"The Great Underground Empire has recently fallen and the land is in disarray. The stock market has collapsed, leading even mighty FrobozzCo International to fire employees from throughout its subsidiaries. A craze of treasure-hunting has swept through the remnants of the Great Underground Empire. It's a dangerous time to be a newly-unemployed traveling salesman, but it's also a great time to try a bit of adventuring."
Feeling misty yet? Head here for more Zork goodness. And of course, fill the meantime with the gamesblog's Spaceship!
