Welcome to Zork!
The year is 1066.  You are a Private, Seventh Class, in the Inquisition
Guard.  After
being relieved by Earl at the Port Foozle Inquisition Gift Kiosk, you
find yourself
standing in the Headquarters of Frobozz Electric.  Gesticulating in
front of you is
the Pastor of Disaster, the Minister of Sinister, the Grand Inquisitor.
It appears
he has a very special mission for you:

			Zork:  The Undiscovered Underground

About the Authors
Marc Blank, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine, is one of the original founders of
Infocom. He
co-authored the original mainframe version of Zork at M.I.T., and went
on to become
one of the pioneers in the field of interactive fiction. At Infocom,
he co-authored
The Zork Trilogy and Enchanter, and was sole author of Deadline, the
first interactive
mystery.  Marc lives in Central Oregon with his wife and daughter;
his company,
Eidetic, Inc. is a developer of entertainment software for personal
computers and
video game consoles.

Mike Berlyn joined Infocom in the Age of Reason, authoring Suspended,
Cutthroats,
Infidel, and Fooblitzky. He played at writing novels and had four SF
novels published.
For these and other mistakes, he is humbly apologetic. Still, it appears
he has not
yet learned his lesson.  More recent times, the Age of Wheezin', shows
Berlyn happily
married, co-owning Eidetic, Inc. with Marc Blank, and living in Central
Oregon. His
degree in Humanities failed to make him more humane, and his advanced
age and
shrinking brain have failed to make him wiser with maturity.  Happily,
this doesn't
stop him from overseeing Eidetic's current product in development for
the Sony
Playstation.

About the Programmer
Gerry Kevin Wilson, a graduate of the University of California at
Berkeley, unlike
Marc and Mike, was never an Implementor at Infocom.  He's the editor of
an online
magazine about text adventures named SPAG, the organizer of an annual
interactive
fiction competition, and the author of the instant cult classic text
adventure,
"The Underoos That Ate New York!"


Communicating with Interactive Fiction (If you are not familiar with
Interactive
Fiction, please read this section.)

With Interactive Fiction, you type your commands in plain English each
time you see
the prompt (>). Most of the sentences that The STORIES will understand are
imperative sentences. See the examples below.  When you have finished
typing your
input, press the RETURN (or ENTER) key. The STORY will then respond,
telling you
whether your request is possible at this point in the story, and what
happened as a
result.

To move around, just type the direction you want to go. Directions can
be abbreviated:
NORTH to N, SOUTH to S, EAST to E, WEST to W, NORTHEAST to NE, NORTHWEST
to NW,
SOUTHEAST to SE, SOUTHWEST to SW, UP to U, and DOWN to D.  IN and OUT
will also work
in certain places.

There are many different kinds of sentences used in interactive fiction
games. Here
are some examples:

>WALK TO THE NORTH
>WEST
>NE
>DOWN
>TAKE THE BIRDCAGE
>OPEN THE PANEL
>READ ABOUT DIMWIT FLATHEAD
>HIT THE LAMP
>LIE DOWN IN THE PINK SOFA
>EXAMINE THE SHINY COIN
>PUT THE RUSTY KEY IN THE CARDBOARD BOX
>SHOW MY BOW TIE TO THE BOUNCER
>HIT THE CRAWLING CRAB WITH THE GIANT NUTCRACKER
>ASK THE COWARDLY KING ABOUT THE CROWN JEWELS
You can use multiple objects with certain verbs if you separate them by
the word AND
or by a comma. Some examples:
>TAKE THE BOOK AND THE FROG
>DROP THE JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER, THE SPOON, AND THE LEMMING FOOD
>PUT THE EGG AND THE PENCIL IN THE CABINET


You can include several inputs on one line if you separate them by the
word THEN or
by a period. Each input will handled in order, as though you had
typed them
individually at separate prompts. For example, you could type all of
the following
at once, before pressing the RETURN (or ENTER) key:
>TURN ON THE LIGHT. KICK THE LAMP.
If The STORY doesn't understand one of the sentences on your input line,
or if an
unusual event occurs, it will ignore the rest of your input line.
The words IT and ALL can be very useful. For example:
>EXAMINE THE APPLE. TAKE IT. EAT IT
>CLOSE THE HEAVY METAL DOOR. LOCK IT
>PICK UP THE GREEN Boor. SMELL IT. PUT IT ON.
>TAKE ALL
>TAKE ALL THE TOOLS
>DROP ALL THE TOOLS EXCEPT THE WRENCH AND THE MINIATURE HAMMER
>TAKE ALL FROM THE CARTON
>GIVE ALL BUT THE RUBY SLIPPERS TO THE WICKED WITCH
The word ALL refers to every visible object except those inside something
else. If
there were an apple on the ground and an orange inside a cabinet, TAKE
ALL would take
the apple but not the orange.

When you meet intelligent creatures, you can talk to them by typing
their name, then
a comma, then whatever you want to say to them. Here are some examples:
>SALESMAN, HELLO
>HORSE, WHERE IS YOUR SADDLE?
>BOY, RUN HOME THEN CALL THE POLICE
>MIGHTY WIZARD, TAKE THIS POISONED APPLE. EAT IT
Notice that in the last two examples, you are giving the character more
than one
command on the same input line. Keep in mind, however, that many creatures
don't care
for idle chatter; your actions will speak louder than your words.

Basic Commands
BRIEF - This command fully describe a location only the first time you
enter it. On
subsequent visits, only the name of the location and any objects present
will be
described. The adventures will begin in BRIEF mode, and remain in BRIEF
mode unless
you use the VERBOSE or SUPERBRIEF commands SUPERBRIEF displays only the
name of a
place you have entered, even if you have never been there before. In
this mode, not
even mention objects are described. Of course, you can always get a
full description
of your location and the items there by typing LOOK. In SUPERBRIEF mode,
the blank
line between turns will be eliminated. This mode is meant for players
who are already
familiar with the geography. The VERBOSE command gives a complete
description of each
location, and the objects in it, every time you enter a location, even
if you've been
there before.

DIAGNOSE - This will give you a report of your physical condition.

INVENTORY - This will give you a list what you are carrying and
wearing. You can
abbreviate INVENTORY to I.

LOOK - This will give you a full description of your location. You
can abbreviate
LOOK to L.

EXAMINE object - This will give you a description of the object.
It is important
to look at all objects as there may be clues to an object's use in
its description.
You can abbreviate EXAMINE to X.

QUIT - This lets you stop. If you want to save your position before
quitting, you must
use the SAVE command.

RESTORE - This restores a previously saved position.

RESTART - This stops the story and starts it over from the beginning.

SAVE - This saves a "snapshot" of your current position. You can return
to a saved
position in the future using the RESTORE command.

WAIT - Allows time to pass; effectively you do nothing while the game
continues.  You
can abbreviate WAIT to Z.

SCORE - Displays your current score and rank.  Typing FULL SCORE will
show you what
you have done to earn your points.
