A parody of the classic Infocom text adventure ZORK I, THE GREAT UNDERGROUND EMPIRE which was written by 'Diabolical' Dave Lebling and 'Maniacal' Marc Blank and originally published by Infocom in 1981. In writing PORK, the author tried to retain some of the cleverness, low cunning, and humor of ZORK -- while poking a little good-natured fun at it. If you get totally stuck, PORK.SOL has the complete "walkthru" solution for the game. However, look at PORK.SOL as a last resort!

An adventure game that is more than a game. In it, the player finds himself battling evil with the Sword of the Spirit, the Staff of Righteousness, and other weapons. The creatures are allegorical, in that they represent problems that we all face from time to time. The winner of the game will successfully defeat all his opponents using the appropriate weapons. Be forewarned! If you meet a creature that you do not have the appropriate weapon for, you will die, and have to start over. Sorry 'bout that!
