It was nearly two years ago that I said I would do this. Let's talk about making a run of the first (AFAIK) interactive fiction game. Multiple runs might be possible, actually, since there are many ports of this game with variations in the total possible score. That should probably be the first thing to be decided: Which port to use. In theory, we could use a PDP-10 emulator/simulator to run Crowther's original game or Woods's update. The PDP-10 projects that I've found online output to the console, however, which means that it would require some type of emulator-within-an-emulator setup. There are ports for Amiga, DOS, and various interactive fiction systems (Hugo, Inform, TADS, etc.). Any thoughts?

Simply becasue we already accept DOS stuff, that might be a version to consider.

There are multiple ports just for DOS. For example, my browser reports 48 results when searching The Adventure Family Tree for the term DOS, but obviously some of them refer to the same port.
