I guess I will be the voice that says I didn't like this game at all ... maybe if I played it when it first came out but I just played it a couple of months ago. And it wasn't the dated graphics that bothered me - it was the gameplay. I felt that it was directionless and I usually had no idea what to do next and felt it was just one of those games where I had to try everything with everything for no apparent reason. Also, hearing the same phrases over and over really got on my nerves. The only other game that bothered me as much was Normality, which is the only game I didn't bother to finish. I finally finished RTZ with a walkthrough just to see it through and get it finished.

Ha, Hanksdog! I tried and tried to remember last night but couldn't, either. Yes, the infamous Skull of Yoruk and Cube of Foundation! I's funny how some things stick in the mind about a game, isn't it? smile

Return to Zork, Zork Nemesis, and Zork Grand Inquisitor were all great games and all were totally different--it's quite a feat, considering they were loosely based on the Zork text adventures. It's a shame that Activision is not going to do any more (as far as I know).
