Reminds me of the star trek text game I played in the 80s called 'The
Kobayashi Alternative.' Fun game with some subtle humor mixed in, just like
the TV show.
It was a game my friend had on his 8086 IBM so I never had enough time in
the hot seat to finish it. The decks on the ship were navigating areas and
so were the planets.
I never had zork, but the advert for it was in another text game we had on
the mac+ called Bureacracy. I figure most text games run similarly.

You're in the main saucer of the ship (think: Enterprise). The passageway goes
all around in a big circle, so you can go clockwise
(shortcut: cw) or counterclockwise (shortcut: ccw) around it. Eventually you'll
reach somewhere interesting.

Thanks for trying it out!
That seems like all the directions. What is clockwise/counterclockwise about?
