Zork is a text based adventure game like that of Colossal Cave Adventure and other old games of it's era which were pretty popular for the time considering that there were two games to come after it.
Graphics:
You're not seriously looking for graphics in a text based adventure I hope. You kind of have to imagine everything in your head like reading an interactive book but i'll assume you knew better.
Sounds:
Again its a texted based adventure, I'm sure there are ways to incorporate sounds into the game one way or another but in this case and at the point in time that it was made they were pretty limited with what they could do.
Controls:
You type in directions such as the Cardinal Direction (North,South,East,West) and other commands such as get,open,look. A lot of the game is finding out what you can and cant do based on the commands you put in.
Replayability:
I haven't played through the game completely but most of the fun comes from figuring out how to beat the game. I think once you go through the game once you really get a sense for what you are suppose to do and it's nice to see how fast you can get through it a second time.
Fun:
I think they are really fun games since you have to work hard to learn what items you have to get first and where you have to go to use those items in order to get through it.
I give Zork an 8/10.
