ClubFloyd Transcript:
Zork II by Marc Blank and Dave Lebling
As played on ifMUD on May 29 - June 19, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Zork II written by Marc Blank and Dave Lebling. Zork II was released by Infocom in 1981. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the IFDB pages.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd | made of dark, heavy wood bound with iron. The workbench is stained
