Is the iPod generation large enough to include people who are into text adventures? I thought the demographic of geeks who use the iPod fall into the more recent generations to be interested in Zork.

That just makes it a more elite group? :) Plus, see pallas_athena's comment below.

I have an iPod and I'm into text games, even if I haven't played any in a while so this is great news for me. My only concern is how much battery time it will eat.

I was actually more concerned about it becoming a "Choose your own Adventure" type of thing instead of closer-to-freeform text adventure. Maybe they'll make one for the iPhone? I wonder whether the Zork 404 page will work on the iPhone... Should test that out when I next play with one.
