You begin your adventuring career as a Suck-O-Matic sales representative, caught outside the town of Port Foozle after curfew. This in itself is a life-threatening situation, because the town is under martial law. The Inquisition has arrived to stamp out all magic, and petty rule infractions are punishable by death. Soon you've landed in even more hot water, finding a talking lantern and a book of spells. Traveling with this contraband, you encounter a number of bizarre characters and attempt to outwit the Inquisition on your quest to recover the three magic artifacts that will supposedly restore magic to the land.
Zork Grand Inquisitor features super design, great graphics, and an interesting story, but its best feature is the famous Zork sense of humor. From the Grand Inquisitor's battle slogan--"I am the boss of you!"--to the snide comments your lantern makes when you get killed, this game will keep adventure fans laughing late into the night. Just be sure to keep a light on, lest you be eaten by a Grue. --Alyx Dellamonica

Customer Reviews of Zork Grand Inquisitor
Loved it... 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....
Clever and creative!
Now this is what a puzzle game should be! Not as challenging as some, perhaps, but utterly engaging and set in a completely believable world. Don't be concerned about the fact that it's part of a series; as other reviewers have said, you really don't need any prior Zork experinece, and I say that from the viewpoint of somebody who had no prior Zork experience. Many of the puzzles were odd and a little esoteric, but there was a definite internal logic to the entire game. Anyone who's considering purchasing this game should be warned of that particular fact: succeeding at "Grand Inquisitor" requires the player to have the same slightly bent sense of humor as the game designers. Also, this is a 3D environment game and the usual rule applies: LOOK EVERYWHERE, TRY EVERYTHING. I did have to hit a hint site (and hints for this game are readily available online) once or twice only to find that the answer was simply something I hadn't been aware that I could do. That's my fault, though; don't blame the way the game is set up. In addition to having a wonderful world packed full of clever riddles, "Grand Inquisitor" boasts a great cast of characters voiced by some very talented people. A must-have game for the slightly wacky and the completely around-the-bend!
Good
This Zork is good, but not as good as Zork Nemesis, I just don't like the complaining lamp in the game it is so annoying, they should have has a feature to be able to turn it off, otherwise this game is good.
