    Default Playing ZORK on a typewriter...on paper.

    Interesting project, with a decent writeup on the electronics and code involved. Most interesting to me is the method used for output; a huge bank of solenoids tied to the keys with fishing line. ...not exactly the simplest solution, but interesting.

    Interesting. Zork was the first game I played on a computer. Man was that confusing to figure everything out as a kid.
