    I’d like him to tackle Zork next, which will be a pleasure for me, especially because it’s been a long time since I’ve played it. But we probably have quite a bit of playing Adventure left.

    I just loved these – used them as entertainment between coding breaks this weekend. I’m glad to hear that these may be the first in a longer series.
    It also really took me back to when I was eight and my parents sat down with me to help me play Zork I on our C64.
    So, um, when will we see the Jerzes play Fine Tuned?
