ZIL, or Zork Implementation (?) Language, a Lisp-like language
developed by Infocom to write text adventures.  It may be gone
forever, although one text adventure fan has reported a possible
lead recently.  (It was capable of being used as a general purpose
programming language, although there were always much better
choices.  The Z-code it produced has been reverse-engineered and
there is a C-like language called Inform that compiles to it now,
with which dozens of people write new text adventures.  The language
may be gone, but the tradition lives on.)
