Description

A sequel to the Zork series. Gameplay is similar to Zork Nemesis, but there are many technological improvements (including much better graphics). The game's storyline is also true to the roots of the series, maintaining a humorous atmosphere (as opposed to the dark-toned story of Zork Nemesis).

Magic is banned in the Great Underground Empire, and the Grand Inquisitor (with the kind help of Frobozz Electric) has a stranglehold on the world of Zork. Any opposing forces will be Totemized (a very bad thing). It is, of course, your duty to save the world, by collecting a Cube of Foundation, the Skull of Yoruk, and the Coconut of Quendor, so you can return magic to the land.

Trivia

This Zork game came with a multi player function. However, it was poorly implemented and not very useful. It would let gamers chat and share notes.
