I was hoping to demonstrate this last weekend at RetroFest 2026. A true 8-bit Pocket Computer running CP/M on an 8Mhz Z80. On board storage, USB-C or battery powered, internal module bay and full RC2014 expansion bus. It runs Microsoft BASIC and Zork. So it's called the Zorkulator. Please share.

A Pocket Computer on a desk. It is the footprint of the first Pocket Computer - the Sharp PC-1211 (or Radio Shack PC-1)

Version 2 of the bot is now published! Support for Zork II and Zork III has been added. Post " @zorkbot.bsky.social start game" and it will guide you through choosing which one you want. You can play all three in public, or one at a time in DM conversation. Good luck!

Welcome to a fun experiment in classic interactive text gameplay! Microsoft open-sourced Zork I/II/III a few months ago, and I wanted to try and get them playable on Bluesky. Let me know what you think. Instructions at lexibrium.com/zorkbot/

Version 1.1 is now up. Some minor bug fixes, but also - **you can now play in DMs if you prefer** Follow me, and I will follow you back. Then you can start a chat and send "start game" there.
