It All Comes Back To Zork

So I posted on LinkedIn yesterday:

Because prompt engineering is nothing to figuring out Infocom’s parser back in the day, much less completing one of their games (which I only finished Deadline using a hint book because I didn’t have the patience to figure out the parser and navigate the obscure challenges in the games).

Facebook memories today coughed up a Zork-themed post featuring two former commenters here from 15 years ago, back when they were reading the blog and commenting here:

I keep intending to clear some space or reconfigure my office desks so I can hook up a Commodore 64 or Triticale’s Commodore 128. I sure was able to lay my hands on much of the Commodore software I still have from, uh, a couple years ago. Just to dabble with it briefly and probably put it away again.
