More Zork!

The Lensman · 03-10-2004, 07:49 AM

Most of you prolly don't know what Zork is, or if you do, you prolly think of the games that came out a few years ago. Originally they were text only games (they came out at the dawn of the home computer age about twenty some odd years ago), the newer ones have their fans, but I still prefer the word only games. Like comic books, they would reference the shared history, events from other games, and sometimes you would meet someone you played in another game. Or visit a landmark from one of the other games. And the last game of the Zork series took place during the same events from it's sister series The Enchanter saga. Prolly a first, having two games dealing with the same crisis, but putting a new light on it.
And you can't beat playing the timeloop from Sorceror, one of the my favorite all time video game moments ever!

Anyhoo...the images...Basically what a Zork book series might look like.

Book 2

And for now...the final book. I have two more covers done, but sadly I don't have a CD burner, and the computer I have to use to get online doesn't have a ZIP drive, and I only had one floppy. The other two to be posted soon.

The 2nd one is a little dark.

Although they all look neat!

Thanks Vis. I may try to lighten up the second one, but since it's a screen cap from a game, there may have been issues, like slight pixelization that made me do that.

Oh, I posted the AB site addy at the Zork board instead of links this time. Hopefully we can get some of the folks over there to look around, maybe have a drink.
