Part one of mainframe adventure; understands complete compound sentences and questions. Simultaneous manipulation of objects. Text.
This games accepted far more complex commands than most adventure games of the time. Instead of just "Get knife", Zork understood commands like "Get gold knife from stone table", and later Infocom games could even handle sentences such as, "Say to elf, 'Don't crush that dwarf'
