Undiscovered Underground?

[Baf]

So, the original CD-ROM release of this game included a text adventure called Zork: Undiscovered Underground as a sort of bonus item. It wasn't accessible from Z:GI at all, but it was there on the disk if you knew where to look.

Does this release include Undiscovered Underground?

I bought the original CD but didn't know there was a hidden game included. Did you get to play it?

For some time, it was freely avaiable for download on Activision website (along with Zork 1,2,3) during the ZGI promotion campaign. But the license prohibited redistribution so it's not a freeware and it's illegal to distribute it right now after the promotion has ended.

I have played it (downloaded from the website at that time), it's a short mini-game with less than ten rooms, with plot and puzzles designed by the same old authors of original text Zorks (but coded by new people).

This release unfortunately does not include UU in any of the file directories... I hope they re-release it soon... maybe as DLC (or better yet a free update!)

there is a website, i dont have it handy right now but look up "Play zork online" and there should be a option for ALL infocom games listed on a screen

Zork: The Undiscovered Underground (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zork:_The_Undiscovered_Underground) was a promotional piece for the release of Zork: Grand Inquisitor. I remember excitedly playing it while waiting for the Z:GI release and to have it on the CD was a bonus surprise.

It is on many archive sites in fact can be downloaded from here: https://www.thezorklibrary.com/zgi.php (scroll to bottom)

This is still my most favorite game I've ever played. The puzzles, the fun story, and the tons of humor backed in. If only they made games like this now-a-days.
