Dungeon Message of the Day

Greetings, cretin!

SmartMonsters' emulation of the classic text adventure Dungeon, later called Zork, is ready for beta testing.

As of today all 585 points are implemented along with the entire game world apart from the endgame. It's possible to play all the way through, pretty much bug-free.

Not yet implemented are many of the easter eggs and jokes which make the original so entertaining. Also, not all possible command variants are ready. Those'll be layered-in over the next few days.

We're still deciding on endgame specifics. Watch this space.

Meet you in The Great Underground Empire!

"Decades before the invention of the motion picture camera, the prose fiction of the nineteenth century began to experiment with filmic techniques. We can catch glimpses of the coming cinema in Emily Bronte's complex use of flashback, in Dickens' crosscuts between intersecting stories, and in Tolstoy's battlefield panoramas that dissolve into close-up vignettes of a single soldier. Though still bound to the printed page, storytellers were already striving toward juxtapositions that were easier to manage with images than with words."
— Janet H. Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace (info)
