You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
September 14th, 2007 by dinahThe first computer game I ever played was Adventure (on a PDP 11/34, no less. My map was a 3′ by 3′ piece of grid vellum. I carried it everywhere).
MC Frontalot has a video up on youTube, just for nerds like me. Presenting, “It is Pitch Dark”. Enjoy!
Wanna experience Grues for yourself? Play Zork I-III on GameTap.

Pretty cool song.

I thought it was good. I just didn’t understand some of the references (And a good portion of the lyrics.
) so I may not have enjoyed it as much as I could have. (Generation gap I suppose.)
You are likely to be eaten by a grue is one of my favorite video game lines though. The Zork games are quite fun and very easy to recommend to anyone who likes an adventure game.

Ah, I remember Zork. Fun times. Stupid axe-throwing guy always killed me. I hate that guy. Even tried to duplicate the text adventure fun on my blog once (http://abstractpenguin.com/blog/?s=Keenwalkers)
