Completing Zork Text adventure: “game program provided you with a simple written description of your surroundings, then asked what you wanted to do next. To move around or interact with your virtual surroundings, you keyed in text commands…” (226). Zork: 1. “Zork began with your character standing outside a shuttered white house.” 2. “Inside the living room of that white house there was a trophy case.” “To complete the game, every treasure you collected had to be returned to the living room and placed inside the trophy case” (227).

Quatrain makes sense! The captain conceals the Jade Key In a dwelling long neglected But you can only blow the whistle Once the trophies are all collected

Ring of Teleportation “It was one of the most valuable magic items in my inventory, looted from the hoard of a red dragon I’d slain on Gygax. The ring allowed my avatar to teleport once a month, to any location in the OASIS” (227). The ring of teleportation helped Parzival go immediately to the planet of Frobozz.

Something else is in the Mansion…

Jade Key = _____ Points +18,000 “I was back in second place, a mere 1,000 points ahead of Aech.

Jade Key is different from other keys “The key was silver, not the milky green color of jade. But when I turned the key over and examined it more closely, I saw that it actually appeared to be wrapped in silver foil, like a stick of gum or a bar of chocolate. I carefully peeled the wrapper away, and a key made of polished green stone was revealed inside. The Jade Key. And just like the Copper Key, I saw that it had a clue etched into its surface: Continue your quest by taking the test” (231)
