At a time when Myst reigned supreme due to its $10 price tag, Activision decided to make this. Someone thought: "Hey! Lets take the weird and kooky setting of the Zork universe, and make it all doom and gloomy." I'm assuming nobody said "But everything has silly names and stuff. Why would you even want to attempt that here? Why not just make a new IP if you want to make a Myst clone?" If somebody did say that, they were probably told "Because, Myst made a lot of money, and this way we can also tap into the longtime Zork fans wallets. You're fired." To taunt that newly unemployed and now homeless guy, that executive would walk up to him in his new home which was a cardboard box, and say "Want some rye? 'Course you do!" But he wouldn't give him some. He would just taunt him with it. Because sadly, that was in Return to Zork, and not this. Just like how the Zork name taunted me when I picked up this game all those many years ago. They should re-Zork it if they want to keep the name. Give me the source code, and I'll do it myself. I'll change the sad, dreary violin music with happy fiddle music. People will tell you to scram if you keep bugging them rather that repeat the same message over and over again. Several puzzles will be re-done to acceptable levels of silliness. Or if I don't have that much time, I'll just remove the name Zork from it. Get all of the other ones instead.
