Today, I tried running Zork on my ITS emulation: (fixed line breaking due limited line length)
*:zork
There appears before you a huge figure
clothed in a dark robe. As you shrink back
in awe, he speaks:
``This is not the machine
of the Zork Implementors!''
Then, as suddenly as it appeared, his
image dissolves, leaving you in darkness.
As your eyes grow more accustomed to
the dim light, you notice a clue etched
on the wall... It reads:
No MIT machine supports Zork any longer.
Questions may be directed to ZORK@DM.

Beneath this message a passerby has scrawled:
No MIT supports DM any longer.
Save your breath.

>look
I see no Zork here.
>n

>?
I see no Zork here.
Your lamp is growing dim.
>help
I see no Zork here.
Your lamp has run out of light. A hungry grue
attacks you and rips you to pieces.
(Next time try Zork on a friendlier system.)
