The original developers and others, as the company Infocom, expanded and split the game into three titlesโZork I: The Great Underground Empire, Zork II: The Wizard of Frobozz, and Zork III: The Dungeon Masterโwhich were released commercially for a range of personal computers beginning in 1980. In Zork, the player explores the abandoned Great Underground Empire in search of treasure. The player moves between the game's hundreds of locations and interacts with objects by typing commands in natural language that the game interprets. The program acts as a narrator, describing the player's location and the results of the player's commands. It has been described as the most famous piece of interactive fiction.
