I don’t think anyone has mentioned this thread, where a newcomer asked for a version of Zork without inventory limit, and some kind soul hacked together a new version for them.
In a way, the purist in me gets upset by this in almost the same way people get upset by the revised Huckleberry Finn. A large part of the challenge of the original game was the inventory management, and if you don’t like that, perhaps you should just play a different game.
At the same time, I have no problem with the way modern interpreters “remaster” the Infocom games by giving them high-resolution text, scrollback, resizable windows and so on, which also completely changes the experience of playing them.
