It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Remember the old days of computer gaming when you didn't need fancy graphics cards that have their own RAM and didn't care what "chipset" it used, and you didn't need a 6-ton refrigeration unit pumping exotic chemicals through your PC case to keep it cool? A keyboard, a monochrome monitor of amber or green, and the ASCII character set were sufficient to keep you gaming for hours playing the latest edition of the Infocomm ZORK games.

Well welcome to Legends of Zork. Activision's (you remember them, they made the more-cool-than-Atari games for the Atari 2600) browser-based "persistent online adventure" called Legends of Zork, "rooted in the world of Infocom's 1979 text-based adventure classic."

According to their site:
“The Great Underground Empire has recently fallen and the land is in disarray. The stock market has collapsed, leading even mighty FrobozzCo International to fire employees from throughout its subsidiaries. A craze of treasure-hunting has swept through the remnants of the Great Underground Empire. It’s a dangerous time to be a newly-unemployed traveling salesman, but it’s also a great time to try a bit of adventuring.”

Time will tell whether this is will be a total screwing of a beloved favorite from the past, or a nice new obsessive office timewaster.
