For Mac users, Gargoyle comes highly recommended by IF literati. Up until about three days ago, the best way to play Zork on iOS was with Lost Treasures of Infocom, a collection of nearly two dozen Z-machine games supported officially by Activision. Another window will open, asking where you want to save the game (zork1.zip, zork2.zip, zork3.zip). Select the folder you created above and click Save. In Windows Explorer, go to your folder and unpack the game by doubleclicking on zork1.zip ( zork2.zip, zork3.zip ). A collection of Infocom games, 'The Lost Treasures of Infocom', was republished by Activision in 2012 as an app for IPhone and IPad. Sadly, it appears to have been discontinued. If you were lucky enough to grab it, hold onto it by all means, as the games come with so many goodies, from feelies to Invisiclues for all games.

Bonus Titles:
Planetfall
Zork I

The box states OS 6.07 to 7.5, but it runs up to Mac OS 9.2 including Classic Environment.

Original interpreter 'Zoom':
Like 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' (not included in this download), you don't need to configure a Mac emulator to play these games, because 'Zoom' does the job for you, too.
For Zoom, please refer to its homepage at https://www.logicalshift.co.uk/unix/zoom/

Zoom hint:
To get the games recognized by Zoom, please add the extension '.z5' (without quotes) to the particular application name.

ScummVM:
Starting with version 2.2.0, ScummVM also runs these games.
