Someone just put up a server that lets a group of four people play Zork 1. This is not a MUD; it’s using the original release-88 Z-code file! The Z-code interpreter has been heavily hacked to do a sort of bank-switching for multiple player objects.
Same basic principle as Guncho, right? Except much more difficult because he’s trying to use a mostly unmodified Z-Code file, rather than a specially compiled Glulx file?
Awesome! Now I just have to get some friends to join me.
The URL is telnet://multizork.icculus.org
(That works in my Web browser (Brave), or running Windows’ telnet works (and lets me have lots of lines). Hyperterminal doesn’t seem to work, nor Emacs )
I knew that! On Windows 7/Cygwin, I get a telnet ‘window’ but a message “Process telnet-multizork.icculus.org not running”. Just tried it on 1 of my Raspberry Pi and it works. Hooray!
(Sorry for the delay. Only just noticed your reply.)
