@pie_flavor I switched game versions and the save files are incompatible.

I would care more if you guys were in the middle of the game, not just loading the endgame to crash my Frotz module.

Living Room Score: 15 Moves: 27 >open sack Opening the brown sack reveals a lunch, and a clove of garlic. >drop lunch Dropped. >drop bottle Dropped. >go west Living Room You are in the living room. There is a door to the east, a wooden door with strange gothic lettering to the west, which appears to be nailed shut, a trophy case, and a large oriental rug in the center of the room. Above the trophy case hangs an elvish sword of great antiquity. A battery-powered brass lantern is on the trophy case. >get sword Taken. >get lantern Taken. >move rug With a great effort, the rug is moved to one side of the room. With the rug moved, the dusty cover of a closed trap-door appears. >turn on lamp The lamp is now on. >

Cellar You are in a dark and damp cellar with a narrow passageway leading north, and a crawlway to the south. On the west is the bottom of a steep metal ramp which is unclimbable. Your sword is glowing with a faint blue glow. >drop egg Dropped. >save Enter a file name. Default is "ZORK15.qzl": z1.qzl Ok. >

The Troll Room Score: 40 Moves: 34 >drop egg Dropped. >save Enter a file name. Default is "ZORK15.qzl": z1.qzl Ok. >go north The Troll Room This is a small room with passages to the east and south and a forbidding hole leading west. Bloodstains and deep scratches (perhaps made by an axe) mar the walls. A nasty-looking troll, brandishing a bloody axe, blocks all passages out of the room. Your sword has begun to glow very brightly. The troll's axe barely misses your ear. >hit troll with sword A furious exchange, and the troll is knocked out! >hit troll with sword The unconscious troll cannot defend himself: He dies. Almost as soon as the troll breathes his last breath, a cloud of sinister black fog envelops him, and when the fog lifts, the carcass has disappeared. Your sword is no longer glowing. >
