Younger gamers who are a little more curious about text-based adventure games will also have some old school fun.

You see traditionally in a game like this you would type in stuff like. Zork though changed things up by requiring the player to be more specific due to the fact it could understand many more verbs.

My favorite is the demented automated phone system in Hell—think of one of those annoying voice mail systems, only worse. Getting through all the puzzles will take time, but the game is laden with hints that give all the help most players will need. Another feature new to the graphical Zork games are the spells, which for the most part will be recognized by people who have played the Enchanter series of Infocom games.

Grand Inquisitor also takes you to many of the scenic areas from the original Zork games, including one of the best-known adventure locations of all—West of the House, complete with the boarded-up front door and mailbox. Also included are many things made famous in earlier games, such as Zorkmids and Grues. I was happy to see the real Zork back again, after the departure from the classic Zork universe in Nemesis. Grand Inquisitor uses the same basic engine as Zork Nemesis , with a few minor updates.

Inquisitor looks much better, mainly because the graphics are brighter and have more detail. The game is also loaded with full-motion video, with some top-notch talent used in the cut-scenes. In addition to the video cut-scenes, there are also several computer-generated animations, ranging from a comical dragon to a gorgeous curved stair railing that gives you a helping hand.
