Zork: Grand Inquisitor. If you ever played any of the Zork games from "Return to Zork" than you are familiar with how Zork: Grand Inquisitor plays. A first person "Myst-like" view with an Inventory and spell selection screen above. Unlike many of the previous Zork games where you started the game at some random location and had no idea whats going on, Zork: Grand Inquisitor tells you exactly whats going on from the start! The Grand Inquisitor has taken over, propaganda is everywhere, and if you don't obey the Inquisition, its totemization for you ("courtesy of Frobozz Electric")! Magic has been banned, and its up to you and Dungeon Master Dalboz to save everyone! The first problem I found that some people had with this game is that they found it "Too easy". This is true somewhat in that its not Return to Zork hard. With a clear goal right from the start and a good thought on when to use that all important "Turn purple thing invisible" spell, you may be able to get past many of the puzzles Zork throws at you fast. This is a good thing, because you get to enjoy more of the story. Plus, when you finally find yourself face to face with a difficult puzzle the game throws at you and you finally figure it out, you won't find yourself Immediately stuck by another hard puzzle (which can make many players very angry at the game.) However, you are still playing a Zork game. Which means you can die fairly easily in it if you don't understand why you shouldn't look into that deep dark well. On top of playing AFGNCAAP (yourself), you are aided by fanciful dragon named Griff, a humanoid creature called Brog, and Lucy Flathead. All who you find totemized, and free. Each have thier own abilities for solving problems. Griff is a dragon. Lucy can read minds. And Brog is no good at puzzles, so use what Brog *is* good at. You'll know when you see him. Zork: Grand Inquisitor is the final of the PC Zork games (no, the web Browser game doesn't count). It was a great send off to the series and is my personal favorite. If your a fan of the Zork games, or a fan of Humor and Adventure games this is one game you should not pass up! Save often, floss regularly, floss meaningfully, floss athletically, and above all: Never forget who is the boss of you! Me! I am the boss of you! I am the boss of you! I am the....
