Re: Infocom/Zork collections
There are some scary prices, but there are some bargains, too. Just last year I got a Nemesis t-shirt that cost five bucks. I don't think people realized that it was authentic. I was thrilled to find the Activision logo on the front that proved it to be real. The hint books were pretty cheap, too. I...

Infocom/Zork collections
Does anyone else here collect the games and their attendant paraphernalia? I think having the original Infocom releases with all the feelies add so much to the character of the games. I have been collecting since 1997 and have every Infocom and Activision game in at least one format. Along with a ...

Re: Is the Zork fandom dying?
I just got website designer software and I aim to have a Infocom/Zork tribute site up soon. Â 8-) It won't be as cool and sleek as TZL, but it'll be unique.

Re: Zork fanart
Ah you mustn't have played Spellbreaker yet! You're in for a treat when you do. There are thirteen cubes of foundation in Spellbreaker that are gathered during the game, plus three (IIRC) that the enemy already has. There is one for each of the fundamental building blocks of the world, not just mag...

Re: Zork fanart
Here is my Spellbreaker commission! This takes place in the meadow off the 'Magic' cube. I used some 'artistic license' in my description as there were no rocks mentioned in that scene. It just looked better for Chrys to be sitting on a rock instead of sitting on the magic carpet in the grass as I ...

Re: Zork: Nemesis Videos
I only got audio when I used Windows Media Player, but I got the video when I used RealPlayer and downloaded DivX. It looks pretty good, too. :)

I thought I was on the wrong board earlier! I like the extra smilys and my new title. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Re: HOW-TO: Installing & Playing Zork Games
My laptop would not save the modified files of the second disk for Z:GI, even when I used the trick of saving the modified folder to the desktop, deleting the old folder, and then pasting in the new folder. That's what I had to do with the Vista computer, and it worked fine for disk one on the lapto...

Re: HOW-TO: Installing & Playing Zork Games
Interestingly, I got everything to work fine on my new Vista desktop, but nothing seems to make either Z:GI or Nemesis work on my XP laptop. Everything was going fine until I hit the last step and it simply would not save the changes no matter what I did. It isn't that big a deal since I have my des...

Re: Zork fanart
And another commission. This one from the 'Dream of the maiden' in Enchanter: http://uminomamori.livejournal.com/292778.html?#cutid2
They're my way of celebrating Zork's 30th birthday. I've got one more coming (for now), from my beloved Spellbreaker.

Yay and thank you for no more spam! It was starting to get to a painful level. Hopefully any real person who really wants to join will email you.

Re: ZGI and nemesis problems under XP.
The full installation technique works like a charm on Vista, too. The only hang up I had was when it wouldn't let me save the changes to the .zix file. I got around that by saving the modified file to the desktop, deleting the old one, and copying the new one to the appropriate folder. That's probab...

Re: Zork fanart
Here's my latest Zork-related commission. From Z:GI. Brynna, after long looking for Dalboz, finds him in the most unlikely of places.

Re: How to Distract a Grue: A Cumulative History
The Cumulative History of Zork is done! It snowed like crazy yesterday and there wasn't much else to do so I just kept going. http://siriusstar.livejournal.com/84194.html?#cutid1 Probably the most glaring omission is that nothing at all is said about Entharion's near-eradication of the grues and of ...

How to Distract a Grue: A Cumulative History
...of Zork. (The title got cut off in the subject line.) Here are the first eight (according to MS Word) pages of the history of Zork that was included in the Zork: Grand Inquisitor Strategy Guide. Feel free to copy as you wish, I'm only the scribe.:) I'm posting it in increments because it makes me...
