The box states OS 6.07 to 7.5, but it runs up to Mac OS 9.2 including Classic Environment.
To play this game on Mac OS X, you don't need to configure a Mac emulator, because 'Zoom' does also the job for you.
For Zoom, please refer to its homepage at http://www.logicalshift.demon.co.uk/mac/zoom.html
To get the games recognized by Zoom, rename the game by adding the extension ".z5" (without quotes) to its name.

About Zork.dfont, I can't remember that I fiddled around with such font in the past.
The Zoom application is really a very good interpreter to play the stuff today.
Ahh, I didn't even notice DOS on the requirements list!
From the box bottom:
IBM Version:
IBM PC or 100% compatible
640K RAM
CD-ROM Drive
Windows 3.1
MS-DOS (5.0-6.2 supported)
Hard Disk Drive with 2MB Available
Great! I'm glad it came through, now I can donate more stuff as I find it at the thrift shops..
Oh, and a note on Zoom. I don't know if it will happen for you, but I grabbed the Zork.dfont font to use with Zoom, and it killed Zoom (locked up when you went to preferences), and Font Book (locked up if you selected the Zork font for any reason). I had to physically remove it from the font folder, then run fontfinagler to get rid of it completely. I even tried to make it a TTF, and it did the same thing. Just letting everyone know! Otherwise, Zoom is the best!
You made it right, the PC partition has been stored on the image, too.
Althought the Installer on the PC partition requires Windows,
but readme tells how to install from within DOS.
If you like word games, these are some of the greats! Planetfall is probably my favorite from this bunch.
Also, this was a hybrid CD, but I don't know if the PC part came through or not. If someone burns it and finds out, please let me know!
