I'm currently playing Level 9 interactive fiction text adventure game Knight Orc from 1987. Which feels like a MUD with many autonomous NPCs running around, fighting and grabbing treasure! And has some very unusual command shortcuts, as shown in the image of part of the manual. A very intriguing game. Which can get into unwinnable states, like Melbourne House's The Hobbit. But I am very much enjoying it. Will write up more thoughts after. I have a dedicated thread on the intfiction forum for my new foray into old games.

Some of the command shortcuts, e.g. FOLLOW <person>, GO TO <place> (which works out the sequence of moves needed), RUN TO <place> (like GO TO but faster), and FIND <object> to go to a place with a specific object.
