Welcome to Zork (originally Dungeon)!

Dungeon is a game of adventure, danger, and low cunning. In it you will explore some of the most amazing territory ever seen by mortal man. Hardened adventurers have run screaming from the terrors contained within.

In Dungeon, the intrepid explorer delves into the forgotten secrets of a lost labyrinth deep in the bowels of the earth, searching for vast treasures long hidden from prying eyes, treasures guarded by fearsome monsters and diabolical traps!

No DECsystem should be without one!

Dungeon was created at the Programming Technology Division of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science by Tim Anderson, Marc Blank, Bruce Daniels, and Dave Lebling. It was inspired by the Adventure game of Crowther and Woods, and the Dungeons and Dragons game of Gygax and Arneson. The original version was written in MDL (alias MUDDLE).
The current version was translated from MDL into FORTRAN IV by a somewhat paranoid DEC engineer who prefers to remain anonymous, and was later translated to C.

On-line information may be obtained with the commands HELP and INFO.

This version is a PHP web hack of the original Dungeon, which allows you to LOGIN, SAVE, and RESTORE your game. You can see your fellow players, but since they are running their own instance of the game you can’t do much other than SAY things to them.. or at least you will be able to once that bit has been coded. It is a work in progress.

Have fun.
