'''Zork Demo''' is a freeware fan-created adventure game demo using the SCI engine that is an implementation of the [[Infocom]] text adventure, Zork.
==== Game Description ====
The beginning results of a tool currently under development. Eventually will be a fully-playable game.


Port of Zork to SCI.
Here's a list of what's fixed in the latest version:
* Completely rewrote and fully implemented the Queue and QueueInterrupt functions (this is what makes the 'daemons' or 'timers' work)
* Fixed Random() function implementation, it was generating negative numbers but code was expecting only positive ones
* Fixed parsing of preposition 'at'
* Fixed JigsUp (death handler) functionality - wasn't referring to correct text res # to pull the values from
* Array-driven print functionality had their parameter values swapped
* Fixed printing random values from text res when index contained mathematical operation (LeakDaemon)
* Cosmetic: Changed room scripts to be named the actual room instead of 'rmXXX'
* Fixed issue with attempting to print a single integer with the AppendMsgBuffer routine
* Vocabulary: When a word is both a noun and an adjective, only give it the noun class. Otherwise parsing was failing under certain scenarios (this was a fun one, I'll have to do a write-up on it at some point)
Out of heap errors are less frequent too. I was able to score upwards of 150 points in this version before the game crashed on me.

'''Zork I: The Great Underground Empire''' is a freeware fan-created adventure game demo using the SCI engine.
==== Game Description ====
Whereas the Zork Demo was a port of the classic Zork to SCI as a text adventure, this is a remake of Zork, turning it into a point-and-click game adventure game.
The full game has not been implemented yet, but it's pretty polished and the player is able to score 45 total points.
