| | 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 sword"). | | | These downloaded games can be played on almost any platform using an appropriate Z-machine interpreter. | | | Zork magic lists spells, potions, and other means of magic in the Zork series |

| | Zork: Magic Meets Science Fiction |
| | Magic plays some part in the game and not always in context, which could be annoying. | | | Zork is an enjoyable Adventure game, though it is not very original apart from its presentation. | | | After playing Zork for three months there were still some areas of the game which remained unsolved. |

| | Zork: A Computerized Fantasy Simulation Game |
| | Zork is one example of a new type of game: the Computerized Fantasy Simulation game. | | | The interest in playing Zork (or any other CFS game) is two-fold. | | | If the game were competitive and like the current Zork, the first player to acquire the (only) correct tool for a job would have an enormous advantage, to give just one example. |

| | Zork Grand Inquisitor: PIB PC Game Review |
| | Unlike Zork Nemesis, this game has 1000 points (that one had a mere 9). | | | This game did seem to be easier to navigate then Zork Nemesis, but that may be that I was accustomed to the navigation system this time around. | | | If you loved the original Zork, you may or may not like this game. |

| | BBC - h2g2 - Zork - More Than You Ever Wanted To Know |
| | The game Zork Nemesis is different than any other Zork game, and is often considered to be the "black sheep" of the Zork series. | | | Beyond Zork is the first game since Zork Three where the player is once again a professional adventurer. | | | At the climax of the game, the player finally catches up with the shadowy figure from the game's beginning, and it turns out to be an evil shadow of the player, brought about by all of the magic that the player has cast over the years. |

| | SPAG Game Reviews Z |
| | Zork I is a particularly good example of this, where the player is apparently looting for looting's own sake, while Zork II sets the collection of treasures up as part of the plot (although you must discover this for yourself; at first, you are merely collecting them because you get points for having each one). | | | In a sense, the nature of the world of Zork III brings the person sitting at the keyboard into the game in a way that the Zork II player was not likely to feel, unless he or she was used to encountering wizards and unicorns. | | | The magic is haphazard -- no hint of the more organized system of the Enchanter trilogy -- but there is a real sense by the end that you, the unskilled but savvy adventurer, have beaten the wizard at his own game, and it helps deepen the admittedly thin sense of a plot. |

| | Unlike other "adventure games" that you may have played, there are many possible routes to the end of ZORK. | | | If ZORK doesn't know a word you used, or any of its common synonyms, you are almost certainly trying something that is not important in your adventure. | | | The game package, like the previous two Zork packages shows a gray and black drawing of a stone wall on the inner cover, whereas the later package has the "Take Their Words For It!" on the inner cover. |

| | Zork Grand Inquisitor Review and Walkthrough |
| | Throughout the game, the player is reminded of the meticulous care with which this game has been created, and the overall Zork theme is consistently maintained. | | | Lots of humor is interspersed throughout the game, often in the form of references to earlier Zork games. | | | In the game introduction, you find that magic has been rubbed out in Zork and your job is to restore it before the Grand Inquisitor can carry out his plan to subdue the populace with Inquizivision. |

| | Most of these games have the player acting in the role of an "adventurer" who specializes in a certain set of skills (such as combat or casting magic spells). | | | Most of these games are similar to traditional role-playing games played with pencil and paper (such as DandD) except, in this case, the computer takes care of all the record keeping and deterministic elements such as die rolling. | | | These skill sets are normally called classes and players can normally control one or more of these characters. |

| | The Rise and Fall of Zork |
| | Magic was being used irresponsibly and evil magic had gotten the upper hand. | | | The Good Wizards decided that all magic and magical devices, whether mechanical or enchanted, should be dispersed into the atmosphere with the hope that evil magic would be vanquished forever. | | | They then vaporized all the magic, both good and evil, (the decoy wall went, too), scattering it to the four winds. |
