Re: Zork Nemesis
I've had this kind of thing happen before. In my experience it's generally from too little memory. The most annoying time that this happened was in Zork Nemesis for me. I was in Sophie Hamilton's lab (you know, the caver with all of the crystal stalagmites), and right when I hit the final note on ...

Re: Zork is still going
Great! I'll go run and check out this new Jack Anthrax story now. I really need him to start emailing those stories to me directly one of these days.

Re: The Riddle Game
Nope, sorry. Maybe I should give a hint for this one....
The answer to this riddle is the same as the answer to a different riddle in an Infocom game. That should narrow down your answers a tad.

Sorry, neither plays nor poems are the answer. Guess again.

Re: Zork is still going
I've already tried stuff like that. It's not written in BASIC, I've seen the coding for games before. I'm just trying to figure out how the last touches are done.

Re: The Riddle Game
Sorry, Basse, that's not the answer we're looking for. ;)
BTW, I think the chapter you're talking about is called "Riddles In The Dark."

Re: The Riddle Game
Okay, then. Time to open my secret stash....
"Some are spoken, while others are on a scroll,
Some are modern, but some are very ol',
They can be decide fate, kill time, or be a highway's toll,
And while some are serious, others are quite droll."

Re: Zork is still going
That's just good ol' topic drift, folks! Happens all the time.;-) Speaking of Zork games, which I believe we were at some point earlier in this conversation, does anyone know exactly the steps to take to program one with inform? I get that you need to write out the coding, I've even looked into pr...

Re: Zork is still going
There's still a fan-based Zork-style game that I've not beaten yet. I can't remember the entire name, but it was something like "The meteorite, the (something), and a long glass of sherbert." It doesn't fit in the Zork universe, but it's implied that it's connected to Zork somehow.

Re: The Riddle Game
Right on, GL! I'm gonna have to start pulling out some of the riddles that I've not used on h2g2 yet, it seems.
As to your riddle, would I be correct if I guessed "A Coffin"?

The Riddle Game
Okay everyone, riddles are a fun part of Zork games, at least in text. We keep talking about making some Zork games, graphical and text, and it'd be fun to put riddles in them. So, for practice, how about we play the old riddle game? You know, think up a riddle, ask it, and the person who answers ...

Re: Zork is still going
I like the idea of a simple "Find The Treasures" series of games. People may demand plot, but that's easy if you just say that the character heard a rumor of treasure, or something. Methinks I'll start getting into the fan-fic biz. I've got an idea for a series of games, but I think it'd...

Re: Quake 3 and RTCW, yes this is Zork related
Ack! You guys should stop moving these boards without telling me, you know. I don't really have much to say in the way of this discussion because I don't know much about either game. I'll just ask a question that I believe the answer is "yes" to: Does this map allow people to play it in ...
