Installing and Running Zork Games on Modern Operating Systems

Over the past few years I’ve been developing guides to installing games from the Zork series. They’re getting older and running them on modern operating systems is less intuitive than it was on older operating systems. Click the link above to learn more. Feedback is welcome!

    For some reason the dosbox shortcut to rtz didn’t work. I just get dosbox and anytime I want to play zork I have to install it again and again…and again. I guess I missed something in the RTZ-vista install instructions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Having a problem with ZGI. Installed it per your instructions, but when i go to run it, there is a cursor on the screen (the Zork cursor) and nothing else. If I mouse around , the cursor will turn highlighted. I click there, and the game crashes.

    I’ve tried different compatibility settings and everything, but no luck. Any advice?
