Fixed

  • The ending of Zork I is now a comic. Winning the game — walking west into the Stone Barrow —
    closed the comic pane on a single balloon reading "Inside the Barrow". Everything the ending is
    for was dropped: the cavern, the footbridge, the sign, and the ZORK II/III sign-off. The win now
    reads whole, across six panels, in its own frame with its own name box.
  • Winning no longer looks like dying. The one victory in the game drew a terrified Hero, because
    the affect table fired its death marker on any game-over and ignored the outcome the event carries.
    A win now gets its own marker — a smiling Hero, waving.

Notes

The concatenated transcript text is unchanged: Zork I parity holds at 143/143 strict. Engine 148
tests, web 335, pixel gate 24/24 clean.
