Playing Zork on a 1975 vintage Altair 8800

I’m not exactly sure where this post should go, so I’m putting it here for now…

This year’s Ignite conference had a session, put on by Scott Hanselman and Mark Russinovich, which harkened back to the early days of computing. Just shy of 20 minutes in, they whip out Zork and play it on an old-school, dip-switch powered Altair.

Thought I’d share it for retro enthusiasts, or as a walk down memory lane for those of us who lived through this technology timeframe:

Scott and Mark learn to connect the dots
