Lost in a lost world

A great game let down by some bugs. Can’t save. Screen jumping up and down. Five stars when all fixed.

Response from developer

Please let me know which device and iOS version you are using. The commands "SAVE" and "RESTORE" appear to work fine. Please let me know what you mean by "Can't save".

Yes it is Zork, except Zork came from Dungeon

Kudos to those who realized that this is Zork. However, this was not taken from Zork. Zork was a commercial personal computer version of the already existing Dungeon game from the minicomputer world. As a kid I was playing Dungeon at my dad’s work before the Apple II was even wide spread and before Atari and Commodore computers were even for sale. This is a fun nostalgia game to play on the phone !

I just paid $2.99 for this game and it does not work at all. The black dos text screen comes up, but there is no way to get a keyboard and type. No choices at all. Screen is just dead????? Can this be fixed, or, I would like a refund.
