Worked at a store that sold Zork Nemesis in high school, but it didn't sell all that well. (The store closed a year later because CompUSA destroyed most small software stores.)

MW2 had at least 4 separate versions on PC: DOS (486 + VGA), Windows (486), a Pentium Windows, and a Windows 3dfx/Glide version that was incorporated into their re-releases. And then there was the expansion for it: GBL which also needed to match with it, IIRC. I think I had 4 CDs for the original versions. MW2M was a standalone game, so more CDs.

Edit: Shutdown sequence initiated. Shutdown sequence overridden.

I think, like the author, I'm glad Zork isn't a huge franchise nowadays with tons of mediocre games. That said: I wonder what a current version of Zork in VR would look like.

Something in the Zork Nemesis, Myst, Riven direction? Or something closer to the originals? How?

This seems like something that would fit well into a tablet-sized display with a voice interface -- sort of like a conversational adventure.
