: I can tell you not even to TRY to run Zork Zero without graphics --
: it's a graphics-based game.  Sorry.

It's no more graphics-based than arthur, shogun, etc...ie it's only
graphics for mindless morons with no imagination...the game is still
text. i dont remember if there is some 'graphics off' command but
i recall that there was something like that (at least beyond zork
has such a command, or does my memory fail me?)...
