Legends of Zork officially launches

The previously announced plans to relaunch the classic Zork adventure game franchise had now indeed gone live. The browser-based online adventure title Legends of Zork is being handled by UK-based Jolt Online under license from Zork’s owners Activision.

The game itself harkens back, at least partially, to the original Zork games as it is played with a text interface with some cartoon illustrations. While the creators have said it’s not an MMO title per se, there are some MMO elements including persistant characters (you can even play as a female) and some Player Vs Player elements.
