Do you get a sword that glows blue when you get near trolls? Because that’s the part of Zork I really need online.

How about a little more like the Colossal Cave Adventure:

KILL TROLL
With what? Your bare hands?
YES
Congratulations! You have just killed a troll with your bare hands. (Satisfying, wasn’t it?)

You are in a maze of twisty little redirects, all alike.

[Scurra]

I think that was the Dragon, rather than the Troll?

For an experience close to the original game, you should probably start from outside the White House.

You want a GUI for the G.U.E.? Me too.
