Zorks

bssrf4 · May 1, 2013

I purchased Zorks a few weeks ago and have used them on various apfelweins and a mead. Everything bottled is only a few weeks old so I can't report on Zorks long term ability, but so far I am happy with them. See pics below. Sorry about the pics but you get the idea. Enjoy the kids artwork in the last pic.

Cool. BTW, the VERY old school gamers will be thinking about something else. Go West. Get broom. etc.

I don't think I ever had Zork, but those commands remind me of the years of my life I devoted to Bard's Tale, Bard's Tale II, and Bard's Tale III.

Holy crap, loved Zork!! My buddy loved Bard's Tale, but I could never get into it.

I bottled mead in some zorks and crown caps. After 2-3 years, I think the crown cap bottles have held up better. I had no complaints with the zorks for < 2 years.

That is interesting. I think the manufacturer says 4 years. But its good to know the crown caps might do better.

I'm pretty sure there were some oxidation issues before it got into the bottles, but that doesn't explain why the crown caps were consistantly better off. I wouldn't say not to use them. I just won't use them for anything I'm going to keep around for several years. Blue zorks just look too good on cobalt bottles.
