Yes, but not with the snap.
Install dosbox from the main repo.
Download zork1.zip here:
http://www.infocom-if.org/downloads/downloads.html
Extract it wherever you choose
Open a terminal in that folder and run

Code: Select all

dosbox ZORK1.BAT
<Alt><Enter> will toggle full screen display.
There are a lot of options available for dosbox. The docs will be here:
/usr/share/doc/dosbox/README.gz
and the configuration file will be found in the hidden directory ~/.dosbox/
