There was a fun bug in the first Apple II version of Zork II, back before they
started using the release date as the serial number (my Zork II was serial
UG3AU5, anyone else have a different one?)

They would the palantir look-through recursively, so if you had all three
palantirs in one place, it would recurse until the interpreter's stack
overflowed.

Also in that version, you could give commands to the aquarium!!!  You could
say "aquarium, take lamp", or "aquarium, go east.go east"  In the latter case
it would tell you that you have moved into a dark place, and then that you
have died, when actually it was the aquarium that "died".

Additionally, you could pick up objects that were supposedly immovable by
reading them, and it would say "Taken.  How can you read a <whatever>."  For
instance, you could "read" the palantir stands, and then do an inventory,
and it would say that you were carrying a ruby stand, firmly bolted to the
table.

Cheers,
