Return to zork has made realise that i was born way after2 found this helpful
I played this when I was a kid, it used to freak me out so much, I never finished it so I am here today to try complete it about 32 years on haha
There are six Zork games for PC worth knowing. Three of them are text adventures, followed by three more standard adventure games for PC. The text adventures are hilarious though all but impossible to get very far into. They are ridiculously difficult, mostly due to quirky inventories and how they are used. First released in 1977, Zork 1 became the father figure for most adventure games that followed. Return to Zork, the game under discussion here, was released by Activision in 1993, in the same month that Myst was released. Two more different games could not be imagined. Though I love both of them, at least Myst was playable without having an IQ of 160 and a completely warped sense of what to do next in a game. When I originally played RTZ (March 2000) I found the game impossible to get very far without hints and a newly available walk through guide, and never managed to finish it. People would congregate on forums trading ideas as to how to progress. Hardly anyone ever finished the game back then, and I daresay no one ever did without the solutions in front of them. So this review is really of a 2026 walk through, which took us about 5 hours. Without a walk thro…
Fun Adventure game and return to the world of Zork.
A fun classic game from my childhood. It's a fun adventure.
Another good old DOS game, still fun even though I didn't personally grow up with these games. Would recommend if your looking to pass the time or a goofy puzzle game.
