    have hitpoints, gain levels, and build your character.

    Just for your info this is to run on my hp palmtop computer it's a 80186!

    While not text only exactly, there's Nethack and the other Rogue clones (and Rogue itself) which use only ASCII *ahem* 'graphics'.

    I could swear I played something like that back in the day, but it might have used ascii pictures too.

    Beyond Zork had stats and levels if I recall. It was limited but
    there. You can't get more "like Zork" than an actual Zork game.

    I hope Doug appreciates our help, even if he has been waiting 22 years
    for an answer ;-)
