Zork, Ltd., a Limited Concern of Unlimited Depth
A beautifully bureaucratic corporate parody for the Great Underground Empire, complete with lanterns, grues, treasure storage, and twisty passages.
Field notes
The page organizes its fictional concern like a real company directory, assigning operational states to six divisions and giving each one a distinct administrative joke. Its shareholder report promises a one-zorkmid dividend payable at an office 150 feet below the Canyon Floor, while the machine-intelligence section describes a dungeon master that can narrate attempts but cannot produce an absent sword. The page explicitly identifies itself as an independent tribute to Zork.
