My Favourite Zork Game
I do wonder if this game should have been a Zork title or simply released as it's own stand-alone creation. It lacks the quirky humour of its predecessors, but at the same time what light relief it does have is made all the more rewarding for the dark and mysterious atmosphere. As an adventure game however it is simply must be played; the game has stunning (for the time) visuals with a level of artistic direction that and a quality of story-telling that still outclasses many modern titles. The dark mystery is enhanced by equally haunting music, high quality sound design and some great live action performances. The puzzles are often fiendishly difficult, relying on clues in the many books and alchemical diagrams around the game, and for which a quality notebook is an absolute must (and part of the experience). Although some can be frustratingly arbitrary in true adventure game tradition, it is hard to stay mad at them in such a well crafted environment. I was a little disappointed that the soundtrack isn't part of the free bonus content though, as I would pay just to get my hands on high quality copies of the music!
