it should be noted that in the mid or late 1990s, a non canonical addition was made to the zork series by semi-professional IF programmer Graham Nelson. the story is called "the meteor, the stone, and the long glass of sherbet", and is set around the same white house and woods as the original stories, except that now, it is many years later, and the woods have been walled up as part of the imperial gardens, and the house has become a customs house, where weary travellers may rest. let it be said that you will never accomplish anything in this game unless you pour the sherbet on the elephant's head.
