For those of you who have never been eaten by a Grue, you will soon have the chance. Jolt Online Gaming have announced today they will release the massive multiplayer online casual title Legends of Zork, a game playable entirely in your internet browser. Legends of Zork places players in the role of a recently laid-off traveling salesman and part time Loot-Ninja and sets you free to explore the Great Underground Empire as it’s economy has crashed, treasury been sacked, and general chaos descends. Hmm, does this sound eeriely familiar to anyone else? What is not to love here? You have Zork, looting, chaos, all playable from your iPhone, laptop, anywhere! My only advice is don’t walk around in the dark without a torch unless you want to meet a Grue.
They have like two other browser mmorpgs I might try them and see how they go actually.
I signed up for Nationstates 2, haven’t started to play yet though. May hold off entirely until Legends of Zork comes out. Nice to see another quality franchise revive. I hope its a solid tribute.
