Patches for Nemesis
I've tried most of the advice on the threads for running Nemesis on XP. One of the posts has a link to Inferno's page for installing Nemesis. On his page, he suggests installing the Graphics Patch and the Subtitle Patch and provides links to both. The problem is, both patches are exactly the sam...

Stardust
I was wondering if any of you guys have seen the recent movie "Stardust." I'm fairly certain that SiriusStar has seen it because it looks so much like her drawings, it should be right up her alley. Anyway, I've seen it twice already. I thought it was really cool, a bit Zorkish and some...

Re: Infocom/Zork collections
My favorite piece is the flashlight, but my favorite actual feelie is either the Zorkmid coin or the 'wizard cards' from Spellbreaker. Wow! If I was the murdering type, I'd kill for a Zorkmid. And all that other cool stuff! Very nice colldection. I have all the Infocom games, but not individual...

Re: Zork fanart
I thought Spellbreaker was just too darn hard to be enjoyable. But you're right. It was Evilly difficult.Spellbreaker is my favorite of all the games in the Zork universe. It is evilly hard, but brilliantly written.

Re: Zork: Nemesis Videos
I downloaded the avi file you posted a link to, and it opens in Windows Media Player, but it only plays as an audio file. Is there supposed to be video with that? If so, do you have any idea why my media player only plays it as an audio and it doesn't give any message about an unknown codec or any...

It seems like you did everything possible, but they're back already! These guys are relentless!
Hopefully, these recent spam posts were not new accounts, and they were just left over from before the update.

Re: HOW-TO: Installing & Playing Zork Games
YOu know, it's interesting that in the znemesis.ini file there are settings for the keyboardTurnSpeed and the PanaRotateSpeed (the mouse panning speed.) Unfortunately, even setting PanaRotateSpeed to 0 (the default value is 540) it doesn't seem to make any difference. Dang! However, the keyboard...

Re: Forum Updated
Wow! I had to put put on my sunglasses 8-) in order to read the posts today. It's so bright!
I have a feeling that the change (if it stops the false account posting) will will bring the board back to life again.

Re: HOW-TO: Installing & Playing Zork Games
Before I started, I didn't realize that your solution was for the DVD versions of the games. I didn't know there was a DVD version of Nemesis. Anyway, I got it to work using the info from the "ZGI and Nemesis problems under XP" thread. Presently, I'm running Nemesis from the hard disk ...

Re: Installing & Playing Zork Games
It's not that you haven't done enough work already, but here's what I was wondering: The solutions you posted for running Nemesis or ZGI on XP involve copying the CDs to the hard disk and then playing the games from there without requiring CDs. Is it possible to copy the Nemesis CDs to a DVD instea...

Re: Any defense against these spamBots?
You mention that using a mail server to send the registration would work but you don't have an SMTP server that works. I don't know what the rate of new member registrations would be, but I wouldn't expect 'legitimate' registrations to be very frequent. If that is the case, you could do email reg...

Re: How to Distract a Grue: A Cumulative History
Thanks, Siriusstar for taking the time to post this Zorkian history. Reading through it has brought back many memories for me, and also an opportunity for me to make a shameless promotion for Dawn of the Demon. I don't know how many of you have yet had a chance to play "Dawn of the Demon."...

Any defense against these spamBots?
Man, we are really under attack by these pornBots. Is there any defense against them? In order to post, you must be a member, right? I guess, anything you change for membership wouldn't affect existing members, but maybe you could put some kind of hurdle in place for new membership which the spa...

See post 1 from the "Malveaux (from Nemesis) sighting" thread.
You may have missed it because the thread got 'hijacked' in the 3rd post.
