Fun fact: Did you know you can play "Zork" & any number of classic Infocom games using #Microsoft #Copilot as a z-emulator? Visit https://copilot.microsoft.com & use the prompt:
"You are an Infocom z-machine emulator. You will emulate the text adventure game Zork, responding to commands just as a z-machine emulator would while I am the player."
(Also works for Planetfall, Suspended, Deadline, etc.)

Microsoft ported "Colossal Cave" to the TRS-80 under the title, "Microsoft Adventure"... with some unique differences.
Then we did an Apple II port & an IBM PC port that was OEM'd by IBM & I had copies of every port. At the age of 11, I even had a legit copy of the TRS-80 & IBM PC versions! (I owned a 5150)
Spent so many hours playing that game. Should've known I'd go to work for them one day. 😜

Anyone else out there interested in classic #text-based #InteractiveFiction? Like the old #Infocom #games. I know there's an #IF community out there — are you on Mastodon?
