Released in 1984, Zyll is what happens when a Dungeons & Dragons dungeon master learns to code and decides to build a text adventure inside a coffee machine. There are no graphics - just glorious walls of text - but boy, is it atmospheric. You’re on a quest to recover your kingdom’s stolen power (of course), but with multiple paths, replayability, and even a two-player mode (!), it’s deeper than it looks. Half RPG, half choose-your-own-adventure, and 100% 1980s nerd magic. If you like your games cerebral, cryptic, and keyboard-driven, Zyll is a forgotten gem that deserves a modern pilgrimage.
