Another Zork fan here too!
(God, I must have been... 9 or 10 years old!) "swing sword" - now that was a game!
Agree with MEAT there about the player's imagination making up things being superior to having it drawn out for you - I can still remember the details of the jewel-encrusted egg (that you put into the display case in the house) even though it wasn't described at length. Ahh the good old days.
I've tried several MUD's since but none captured my interest like Z did. Truly great game.
