Zork I r88 for Apple II TAS.
This is a direct application of the https://www.speedrun.com/zork1/guides/iqod4. The difference from UserFiles/Info/638893574504520990 is that RNG manipulation is now automated in the same Fennel script that enters the commands of the route, which makes the run adaptable to different settings (of 40/80 columns, or brief/superbrief mode). That run used 40-column superbrief mode. This run uses 80-column brief mode, which is what I intend to use as the representative for the run going forward.
RNG manipulation works by altering the letter case of commands. In the battle against the troll, for example, the command is hIT IT, with the capital letters being inserted to alter the RNG and ensure a one-hit kill on the troll. The script would have tried hit it, hit iT, hit It, hit IT, hiT it, etc., until finding a combination that works.
See https://archive.org/details/zork-appleii-tas-20251016 for an encode and source code, and for movie files of the other three settings.
