The quote dates back to the original Adventure text game, which Zork is directly based on. (I just checked Wikipedia, and the game was also known as Colossal Cave Adventure, Colossal Cave, and ADVENT). The first version was from 1976. A version of Zork was available in 1977, but Zork I was released in 1980 (November for PDP-11, December for TRS-80, the Apple II version was later in 1981).
[I played it (Adventure) on a Honeywell Level 6 machine in 1981].
