Play Zork on your Kindle at Kindlequest

Though they do have the Kindle name on it, it's just a web browser interface, with a minimalist web interface. These pages where ideal for the K2 which has a basic web browser and 3G, so you could play anywhere.

I'm sure if you look hard enough you might be able to find an app or downloadable versions.
Thank you =X= for the links. So the Infocom games are still in copyright. Activision put the Zork games on the Internet at one point and offered them as a free download. I read somewhere they placed the games in the public domain but that's probably not true. I own most of them and could copy my .dat files to the iPad where I'm finally able to play them again.

Thank you again for correcting my mistake and thanks for the link. Perhaps I can play Zork at least with the K3's browser.
