CNET Is an Idiot.

It's one thing to use Wikipedia as a source without fact-checking, it's another thing to only minimally reword a Wikipedia article and pass it off as journalism, but it's a whole other thing to do both of these things without reading the original article correctly.

Wikipedia: Zork is set in a sprawling underground labyrinth which occupies a portion of the "Great Underground Empire". The player is a nameless adventurer whose goal is to find the treasures hidden in the caves and return alive with them. The dungeons are stocked with many novel creatures and objects, among them grues and zorkmids. The Zork universe and timeline has been extended by several of Infocom's other works of interactive fiction.
