Zork
Dungeon
/zork/ The second of the great early experiments in
computer fantasy gaming; see ADVENT. Zork was originally
written on MIT-DM during the late 1970s, later distributed
with BSD Unix as a patched, sourceless RT-11 Fortran
binary (see retrocomputing) and commercialised as "The Zork
Trilogy" by Infocom. The Fortran source was later rewritten
for portability and released to Usenet under the name
"Dungeon".
Both Fortran "Dungeon" and translated C versions are
available from many FTP archives.

5. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Dungeon
different from the ordinary prison in being more severe as a
place of punishment. Like the Roman inner prison (Acts 16:24),
it consisted of a deep cell or cistern (Jer. 38:6). To be shut
up in, a punishment common in Egypt (Gen. 39:20; 40:3; 41:10;
42:19). It is not mentioned, however, in the law of Moses as a
mode of punishment. Under the later kings imprisonment was
frequently used as a punishment (2 Chron. 16:10; Jer. 20:2;
32:2; 33:1; 37:15), and it was customary after the Exile (Matt.
11:2; Luke 3:20; Acts 5:18, 21; Matt. 18:30).

6. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
