I pretty much learned how to read by playing zork on the C64, and remember making maps like this (for zork) on paper. I bet Zork did the same thing and is just an expert map-maker now.
Great job and thanks!
Heh, I wish I'd known about Zork that early. My gamertag (and nick I've used for years) comes from when I was a freshman in high school in '93 and played th game "Return to Zork". I had fooled around a little bit with the text games, but had never gotten very far. To this day I need to go back and try to beat the original Zork.. I owe it to the universe or something. But anyway, I needed a password for some BBS or something and looked around the room till I saw the Return to Zork box on the shelf, added the "wiz" to it (probably cause I thought I was actually good at it) and there you go.
I always have liked making maps, though. I did a ton of graph paper maps for the original Might and Magic, and was obsessed with dungeon crawls for a while, including Lands of Lore, a Sierra online game called Shadows of Yserbius, and the PC game Demise, which was an amazing and underrated game, if buggy.
Enough rambling... I should fire up the DS again and get back to work on the PoR map. ;)
