Long Lost ‘Zork’ Source Code Uploaded to GitHub, But Few People Understand It

quote [ With access to the source code, a group of dedicated fans is now tinkering with the Zork Implementation Language (ZIL). Infocom was eventually bought out by Activision in 1986, but was quickly shut down a few years later. There are more modern collections of Infocom games available, keeping the spirit of Zork alive, but the source code, which could teach us how Infocom managed to create such a sophisticated game at the time, had been deemed lost. That is, until this week, when internet archivist Jason Scott uploaded a collection of all Infocom text adventures and interactive fiction games’ source codes to GitHub, including the Zork games and Infocom’s video game adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. ]

Awesome - I wonder if there's a mobile version
