Activision has taken a new direction in the Zork series with the development of Zork Nemesis (also known as Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands). Although Zork Nemesis is billed as a sequel to Return to Zork, the story in this game bears no authentic link to previous Zork titles except for a few passing references.

The game and theme are great. Went to go buy a new game today. And this one still comes to mind.  I wish there was more like this one. This is a classic for sure.

When I first played this game I was a virgin to the Zork series, so I played it as a stand alone. I confess I was blown away by the incredible graphics and the intricacy of the story. This of course was back in 1998 but I still trot it out once in a while, like reading an old novel you adore. I became obsessed with characters, everything was so.. slightly kind of off and weird about them, so maniacally human, and yet so mad.. oh it was haunting and grand. the whole premise of the game is insane. I love it.

Top marks, to this day.

Return to zork was alot of fun.  It did seem to have a dark tone to it.  All the characters were just a little off center of gravity…

This was one of the few adventure games I played .
