It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

They 3d printed the save icon

[–] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly I haven't even seen it used as a save icon in a long time

[–] Grimm@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

I see it fairly often though usually in indie games with retro aesthetics.

Zork is a text-based adventure game first released in 1977

Old-school adventure game, one of the OG. I think it was CoD BlackOps 1 where one of the secrets was breaking out of your chair in the main menu, being able to walk over to a pc....and literally play the whole of Zork!

Macintosh is an apple variant.

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you mean like Sylvie is a variant of Loki ?

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

5 y.o. would not understand that.

I wonder how long it will be before this is known by everyone as a save icon instead of a floppy disc

[–] RalphFurley@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I had this on the 5 1/4" disk. The kind that actually was floppy.

I never finished that damn game lol. I should probably give it another go one of these days.

I never figured out what the eventual goal was. I remember solving various puzzles, like opening the gates to hell, getting through the maze of twisty passages, killing the troll, etc. But I don't remember ever figuring out what the win condition was supposed to be.

You can carry it around in your phone nowadays!

I believe the technical term is Stiffies

I have an immense urge to fwap the little metal thing back and forth until my mom tells me I’m wrecking it.

- Grue

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I went through a phase in middle / high school where grues were constantly appearing in any story or program I made... Great times
