Zork Machine Interpreter and Debugger (called ZORKMID for short) is a Z-machine interpreter made by User:Zzo38. This program is fully public-domain.

In addition to playing and debugging Z-code games, it can also be useful when debugging other interpreters.

Features

• Debugger (including breakpoints at address and at specific instruction opcodes; currently there is no source-level or symbolic debugging although that may be added in future)
• Disassembler
• Instruction profile to tell you how common each instruction opcode is executed (including the format, such as 2OP, long immediate, short immediate, variable)
• Scripting to a file
• You can write comments into the transcript file
• Check for errors in the program (and optionally, warnings too)
• Both big-endian and small-endian story files are supported
• Can stop for "MORE" on each screen (unless this function is turned off)
• Function to disable save games (may be useful when remote access is used and you don't want it to save?)
• You can tell it to pretend to be a Tandy computer or not
• Can read random numbers from a file/device or use internal random numbers
