The most unusual time I've ever played the game was on a Tandy computer back in the day.
That's impressive to get through with one player. I was never quite that good but the enjoyment was off the hook. You'll enjoy the updated graphics.
That was my first computer I actually purchased fully out of my own pocket. Tandy 1000 HX with dual 3.5 floppies that held a whopping 720KB per floppy. It had 256KB of RAM expanded to 640KB. It seems weird that those old systems worked in less than 1MB of RAM. No hard drive.
We also would type in old BASIC programs into a VIC-20 similar to Zork but smaller. Back then it was still fun even knowing every possible outcome to every decision.
I have no idea how we survived the incredibly long load times on the C64. I do remember some of the games like Karateka taking 20 to 30 minutes to load.
Some say Moore's Law is coming to a close well at least for silicon. I suppose that's ok we'll just use our computers longer or prices won't drop as quickly or who knows really. I don't know if it's Intel or consumers driving the market to buy bigger and better every few years or companies like Apple that make it a yearly party to repurchase everything. It hardly seems a necessity nowadays but technology is interesting none the less!
