Hey, I bet you didn't hear that Zork 1, 2, and 3 were open-sourced today!

…Oh, you have heard. Yeah. Way ahead of me. :)

Here's my comments, and some details that you might not have seen.

SO im glad that Zork I, II and III are open source now under the MIT license.

https://opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11/20/preserving-code-that-shaped-generations-zork-i-ii-and-iii-go-open-source

(AND in fact the MIT license, seems especially fitting for open source/free software folks I think. Considering, Zork began life inside MIT's computer labs.)

BUT man that feels a little.... stingy? LIKE I dont quite get why they excluded Beyond Zork & Zork Zero. Which were ALSO developed by Infocom in Z-Machine pre-90s.

BUT hopefully its a start of something more and maybe we will one-day see the whole #Infocom catalog liberated. #InteractiveFiction #Videogames #floss #Zork

Now that Zork I, II and II are properly free software, are anyone packaging them up to play on Linux as Flatpaks? That would be awesome! 😊 https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/11/zork-i-zork-ii-and-zork-iii-are-now-officially-open-source/
