Zork is not only compressed (think they use some sort of 5-bit compression for text) but it uses a VM, so they could use the same binaries on dozens of architectures.
The old famous Norton utils, running on a spaghetti PC. By the way, I hope you can keep any curious pets away from this. I can't imagine the havoc caused from some cat with "debugging - rewiring" intentions.
Fortunately our cat is more interested in laps and sleeping by my feet. No bench invasion so far in the last 2 years! There is the occasional need to go around the multiway Dupont to reseat them but surprisingly reliable for a spaghetti PC! Dave

Yes it really was ahead of its time given the cross platform VM side. Dave
