the best dos text-based game of all time?

hello, if you could choose only one dos text-based game, which would you choose? Zork 1 ? Lurking Horror ? Or any other suggestion?

Only one I can think of is The Hobbit.

The Zork games were awesome but -insanely- hard. I also really liked Deadline because it had characters that moved from room to room with their own AI and it was like a real detective story. The Douglas Adams stuff was also awesome, like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Leather Goddesses of Phobos. There were so many good ones.

My favourite was Bureaucracy.

thanks all for the suggestions !!

@Byshop: I Assume your favourite amongst favourites was Deadline ?

I always loved Beyond Zork. The lite roleplaying mechanics led to some great thinking-outside-of-the-box puzzle solutions.

The were all impossibly difficult, but Deadline had the neatest concept. I like a good "detective" story and a game that puts you into that role effectively even more.
