That one definitely sounds more sensible than your first attempt!

True, but it was beer o'clock three hours ago here.

I can't find any reference to "TURM" meaning "CLOTHING", so I'm going to have to say "No" this time and give it to Pkfox.

Agree, I liked his answer better.

I, too, had guessed turmoil (same reasoning as @yacCarsten, but didn't know what turm was (and didn't even think of looking it up!)) but treated the 'uproar' as possibly meaning an anagram as well as being for the answer but couldn't find any anagram of turm or turmoil that meant clothing.

You are up tomorrow! 
Now, did you know the word, or google it?

I just retrieved the Open Source for Zork I from github[^].
Next I opened a terminal and ran make.
It failed with a cryptic error. I had to change the make file because it needs to reference ncurses library:
TERMFLAG =
LIBS = -lcurses
Then I had to install nscurses (on my Ubunut 20.04).
sudo apt install libncurses5-dev
I ran the make file again and it built!!
I started it up and I see...
Welcome to Dungeon. This version created 11-MAR-91.
You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded
front door.
There is a small mailbox here.
>
I've wanted to play this game for 30 years. I'm all set now.

Hello Sailor!
Keep Calm and Carry On
|
|
|
|
|
I've opened the window!!!
You are facing the north side of a white house. There is no door here,
and all the windows are barred.
>get bar
I can't see one here.
>south
The windows are all barred.
>east
You are behind the white house. In one corner of the house
there is a window which is slightly ajar.
>open window
With great effort, you open the window far enough to allow passage.
|
|
|
|
|
The live action sequences are unreal! 
|
|
|
|
|
|
Diplomacy by email is exciting, and I imagine it was by mail back in the day.
|
|
|
|
|
I tried to go up the stairs even after the game warned me...
You are in the kitchen of the white house. A table seems to have
been used recently for the preparation of food. A passage leads to
the west, and a dark staircase can be seen leading upward. To the
east is a small window which is open.
>up stairs
It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
>up stairs
Oh, no! You walked into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue.
You clearly are a suicidal maniac. We don't allow psychotics in the
dungeon, since they may harm other adventurers. Your remains will be
installed in the land of the living dead, where your fellow adventurers
may gloat over them.
Your score is 15 [total of 585 points], in 98 moves.
This gives you the rank of Beginner.
The game is over.

Typical beginner move!

I had to find out what that phrase meant...Zork III - Wikipedia[^] I am not an insider of Zork. My friend had the Atari 800 and I had no computer.
|

|
|
Amazing!
Next.... Master of Orion 2?
|
|
|
|
|
I can recommend Remnants-of-the-precursors[^]
It's an open source clone of the original Master of Orion game written in Java.
Nice job for Raddevus to translate it to .NET 
|
|
|
|
|
Ooo.... I have to check it out...
I am doing a Master of Orion (table top, pen and paper) RPG, and I need the spaceship specs! 
|
|
|
|
|
Just ran it, very good first impression!
Although.. game broken! Can't play Elerian or a customized race! 
|
|
|
|
|
Time to rewrite it in .NET
|
|

Well, I can't but add : Travel Oregon !
