Default Zork port

is there any chance that someone could port the original Zork over to the Zune HD? I understand that the complete source code is available, and since it is purely a text game, graphics and processing power is not an issue. I know that game is like 30 years old, but its really fun.

Can you provide links and (if possible) screencaps of the game? (I know it's a text game but still )

I love that game! If you could actually read the text on pocketputty (telnet program) in liberate it wouldnt need to be ported. I would support this app

not having to mess around with liberate every time I wanted to do a quick Zork run would be nice though.
