Released: Legends of Zork
The "casual online adventure game," Legends of Zork, is now out.

It looks clever and cool, though there are not many options for character portraits yet. But the overall gameplay seems reminiscent of Kingdom of Loathing - with a more Zork-like sense of humor. But from what little I have played, it's really not... well... adventure-game-y. It's more RPG-esque. Like KoL, it's primarily text-based with some artwork to illustrate what's happening. But not stick-figure artwork. The game is free, but of course there are all kinds of opportunities to pay real money to give your character bonuses and more action points per day.

If it sounds interesting, give it a try and tell us what you think:

Legends of Zork

Hat tip to Sam Graber for the heads-up!

UPDATE: Rock, Paper, Shotgun has a none-to-kind first look at the game, with suggestions on how it can be improved. There are many comparisons as to why this game - at least for now - fails where Kingdom of Loathing succeeds. Whether or not this opinion holds water is up to you to decide.
