Loved it... [Posted on 2004-12-11]
I've played quite a few adventures, and though it's been awhile this one still ranks as my all time favorite. I loved details like the flickering lights in the subway car-- taking the subway to hell, the varying ambience-- fun story, integrated puzzles-- I can't find anything to dislike in this game. Other longtime favorites of mine are "Dark Eye", "Obsidian," "Grim Fandango" and "Of Light and Darkness"-- what they all seem to have in common is a bit of a sense of humor and a taste for the quirky, odd or bizarre...

It's obvious though, that "Grand Inquisitor" was created by a group who understands the adventure genre well-- the game is well stitched together, nonlinear, a consistent and involving storyline, challenging puzzles, and interesting and different locations to explore, and for my money the most important-- it doesn't take itself too seriously (a sense of humor). A really great job has been done on this one....

My Favorite [Posted on 2005-10-09]
This has got to be my favorite game of all time. I'm not a very talented gamer, I usually find that games require a little too much concentration and forthought, ZORK grand inquisitor doesn't have to played that way (though for you serious types I'm sure you could). It's very funny and the cast of characters add to the games greatness. I had already owned this game several years ago and lost the first disk, remembering how much fun it was I had to buy it again, and it was as fun the second time as it was the first. If there is someone out there who doesn't like this game they should be sentenced to totemization by the frobozz electric totemizer.

Cheers,
Jay

P.S. There are some cons; First, on faster machines the panavision is way too fast and extremely touchy (I ran it on an AMD 4000 with a PCI Express 256MB V-Card). Second, as you progress through the game (in the time tunnels) you will find the switching in and out of CD's slightly irratating, but these points are a small price to pay for such a wonderfully absurd game.

I Miss Zork!! [Posted on 2005-11-23]
I learned how to play computer games with Zork (I think it was all keyboard driven back then, you had to type) and now seriously miss the [annual] sequels. I thought we'd have an annual Zork tradition to look forward to, sort of like Christmas, every year but it's been almost 10 years now since Grand Inquisitor came out. So sad that Zork no longer rises anew every year.

Zork! [Posted on 2006-05-23]
This game was much more fun to play that any of the other Zork games.
A lot of silly fantasy humour (similiar to the books of Piers Anthony).

The puzzles are medium in difficulty but a few easy ones and a few hard ones.

Even though the graphics are starting to look dated, I would still recommend people play it at least once.

Old game yet stillf un [Posted on 2006-11-04]
I was introduced tot he Zork series by my older brother when he installed Z:GI on our computer when it first came out. I had a blast playing it then and I had a blast playing it this time. The one and only complaint i can give is that once you beat the game it isnt that long if you play it again (took me like one night to beat it once I got it again). It is a great nostalgic game though.
