Bad Adventure game personified.
This is a textbook case on every cardinal sin of adventure games: 1) Insanely difficult puzzles. (Finding Wire, and the "Invisible Hellhound" are my two least favorites) 2) Bad FMV acting. 3) Numerous ways to end up in an unwinnable by design situation.

GREAT GAME
Played this game when it first came out in 1993. Well worth the purchase price!

Shotgun Blast of Zork
I played this game when I was 12, got frustrated and never finished it, but always longed for the days of playing it because it left an indelible mark on my gaming memories. I was able to play it (in a situation of dubious legality) via a bootleg and finally got through it. It's a fun game, but some of the puzzles just flat out don't make too much sense.

Looking Forward to Another Try
IIRC, notorious for sound and video problems when it came out; I'm impressed someone made the effort to update it. Thanks! I never got far and admire the chutzpah of the very first puzzle. The puzzles, like many from Infocom, were unbearably difficult and it was easy to irretrievably screw up things, forcing you to restart. That's why just four stars. Granted, this was standard for Infocom and for the time, but it's bad design nonetheless. Time for another try. I'm hoping this trend continues at GOG with maybe Zork Nemesis and some allied classics like the justly awarded Mission Critical and the hilarious Spellcasting series.
