| | Zork - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Zork distinguished itself in its genre as an especially rich game, in terms of both the quality of the storytelling and the sophistication of its text parser, which was not limited to simple verb-noun commands ("hit grue"), but understood full sentences ("hit the grue with the Elvish sword"). | | | In the Zork games, the player is not limited to verb-noun commands, such as "take lamp", "open mailbox", and so forth. | | | Part of the reason for splitting Zork into three different games was that, unlike the PDP systems the original ran on, micros did not have enough memory and disk storage to handle the entirety of the original game. |

| | Beyond Zork also allowed the player to create their own male or female character, with that character being personally referred to in parts of the game. | | | Zork Zero: The Revenge of Megaboz also attempted to sift through the previous ten years of the Zork games, and tie up all those loose ends and open questions that never seemed to have a concrete answer such as the origin of the white house with the boarded front door. | | | At this time, the majority of home computers were unable to cope with running the whole Zork game, so a method to compress the game was required. |

| | Beyond Zork originally came with "The Lore and Legends of Quendor," which is interesting to read even without playing the game. | | | Beyond Zork was the very first Zork game to use graphics, in the form of an onscreen map, and a box set aside for room descriptions and status updates. | | | While Zork Nemesis is set in Quendor, and has a lot of references to previous games, it is not considered true Zork. |

| | Although playing previous games in the Zorkian universe, which include the three Zorks, the three Enchanters, and Wishbringer, is not at all necessary, you will more thoroughly enjoy all of the innuendos, characters, objects and places in Beyond Zork if you have. | | | After having played five different Beyond Zork games and annually replaying the Zork series like most others reread certain books, I can honestly say that it is destined to become a classic. | | | Yet another unique aspect of Beyond Zork (how many can there be?) is the use of randomly-generated geography and objects throughout the game. |

| | SPAG Game Reviews B |
| | Beyond Zork is a game with a great amount of play and replay value. | | | But perhaps the best moment in Beyond Zork is the archway puzzle and the point of view of the game's setting that it provides--it puts the game into a perspective that I found sobering. | | | Beyond Zork was one of the format experiments Infocom conducted during the 1987-1989 period, and certainly contains the best parser of any of the non-graphics games. |

| | Two very different games ('Zork I', Version 5 "solid gold" edition; 'Museum of Inform', a complex Inform example game) were played for about 50000 cycles of the Z-machine (about 20 moves in 'Zork I', rather less in the 'Museum'). | | | 'Zork I' uses only about 5500 opcodes, but the number rises steeply with later games; 'Hollywood Hijinx' has 10355 and, e.g. | | | The total number of objects tends to be close to the limit of 255 in Version 3 games. |

| | Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor |
| | The mapping feature in Beyond Zork was very useful, as the game took place over a large area and incorporated several areas that were randomly generated before play began, so they would never be the same for anyone at any time. | | | If you are looking for a serious role-playing game, it is best to look elsewhere, but you will find few better examples of a challenging (and epic) adventure game than this. | | | The character statistics helped make the game a more realistic growth endeavor than in Zork I, for instance, where experience was never really clearly defined. |

| | IMDb user comments for Return to Zork (1993) (VG) |
| | This game may be a little old, and maybe even outdated, but it still remains one of the most impressive and downright entertaining computer games to play. | | | All in all, though, RETURN TO ZORK is a game that makes you come back for more, and leaves you wishing you lived in that truly bizarre and comical world. | | | I never played any ZORK games after ZORK III, like ZORK ZERO and BEYOND ZORK, though. |

| | Ad-Blurbs for Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor |
| | However, we have been cautious about writing a new Zork game, with the feeling that any game with the Zork name had better be able to deliver a level of puzzle invention, storytelling, and technical expertise that matched the original and then went a step further. | | | For the first time, the character-building and combat of role-playing games join the masterly prose and puzzles of Infocom's interactive fiction. | | | You get all the excitement of role-playing games, skillfully blended with the fabulous puzzles and award-winning prose of Infocom's interactive fiction. |
