DOS
it does not work on windows 10
🙁
It actually works, just tried it myself… you have to follow the guide (and most importantly download the DOSBox emulator).
So as the guide states:
1) Download and Extract Zork_The_Great_Underground_Empire_DOS_Files_EN.zip
2) Download DOSBox and put a shortcut on your desktop
3) Open the “Game Files” folder and drag the file “_Zork1.com” on top of the DOSBox icon
I did exactly this and DOSBox says “game file not found”.
