Me too. (Most of the time.) But have you played Zork 3? Because if you have I can tell you how to skip the Mirror Room. (Irritating puzzle; I was never able to solve it.)

yes yes, the vial. loved that bit - i've never had to even try the mirror room. did you know I started "Club Zork" here on h2g2? It didn't do very well, but now I'm doing better with another club, the H2G2 RPG, but I need a better name than that because there already is the h2g2 RPG Club, and the h2g2 free form fantasy forum and H2G2 RPG seems to be copying their name.

Didn't think to look for a Zork Club. I'll do that right away.
