Zork Zero

The origin of the house is finally explained at the end of Zork Zero, when the Curse of Megaboz is fulfilled. This event brought about the collapse of the GUE and the conversion of Flatheadia.

It is rumoured that the white house was teleported to Earth, where it landed in Warrnambool, a city in Victoria, Australia, since there used to be a white house that looked like, or was, the house, near Merrivale, a suburb of Warrnambool. However, the house, if it is the house, was destroyed in 2005.

That white house is the cornerstone upon which not just adventure games, but the entire industry, was constructed, and now, thanks to the generosity of Activision, it is part of the Just Adventure masthead.
Just as that white house was the entry point for millions of adventure gamers, so too do we hope that Just Adventure will be your starting point for the past, present, and future of adventure gaming.
