[edit] Mirrors?
Does anyone seriously believe that the fact that there are no mirrors or reflective surfaces in Zork except for in the one place where there are mirrors actually has anything to do with the lack of identity of the player? Isn't it overwhelmingly likely that it's just because there was no reason for the game designers to add any mirrors? There are many other computer games which are entirely void of mirrors, for no reason other than that there was no reason to put mirrors in them.

- I agree, you rarely find mirrors in game, especially in first person games. Not even in games such as Half-Life 2 there is working mirrors that reflect player models.
[edit] First or Second person?
I just noticed that somebody changed the paragraph about "second-person" games into one about "first-person." I don't think that the new version is right at all. While it's true that most graphical games or this sort use the first-person perspective, it's also true that the old Zork games were literally written in the second person ("you are standing in a field...") and not the first person... The first person was sometimes used by the text parser itself ("I don't know the word "help") but that's not really what we're talking about here.
Not to mention, "first person games" is always used to describe games which visually use the first-person perspective, despite having plots that use, in this context, the "third person." You know what I'm saying? "2nd Person" is appropriate for games like Zork.
