Best Zork Format For Future Games?

What does everyone feel is the best format for future installments in the Zork saga? Should they be the traditional text adventure? An IF with basic graphical support (BZ or the more graphical Zork Zero)? Graphical adventure ala RTZ - ZGI? MMO (adventure or RPG)? Or something completely different? I...

Re: Most Interesting Event?

The Anatian Empire is a highly disputed subject among scholours. It has been mentioned in passing a few times in the games (especially Wishbringer which may have taken place there in part). It is also a popular origin for the platypus castles. I have a lot of info on both and have been thinking of E...

Most Interesting Event?

I've been thinking of ways to put my skills and resources to better use. Having no internet for nearly two weeks will do that to a bloke.

Re: Dusting Off My Sword

Well, so far, I've somewhat enjoyed the style of gameplay, although it definitely lacks the vitality of a more interactive genre. I made the first few suggestions earlier today on how to improve the feel of the game outside of mechanics (well, maybe just a few mechanics), so we'll see how the respon...

Dusting Off My Sword

I doubt anyone knows me, so I'll give a little introduction. When I was perhaps 7 or 8, I sat down in front of a computer and slipped a floppy into the drive. The next thing I knew, I was standing in front of a white house. The encounter was brief, but years later I was exposed to Beyond Zork, which...
