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....

I Miss Zork!!

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.

Great Adventure Game!

I play adventure games with my children, and we LOVED this game! I am an old-time Zork fan, so I recognized much of the humor and some of the places, etc. This was fun, never too difficult to figure out, but always just challenging enough to keep us thinking. We would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a good challenging adventure game.

Zork Grand Inquisitor - disappointing follow-up

I thought that the previous adventure, Zork Nemesis, was one of the best puzzle/adventure games I've ever played, compelling storyline, atmosphere, mystery and challenging puzzles - took 6 months of intensity to complete. I couldn't wait for Zork Grand Inquisitor, rushed out and bought it as soon as it hit the shelves, but was disappointed by the lack of depth and simplistic puzzles. Nice graphics, great humour but only 18 hours total gameplay to complete wasn't worth the $$.

A Blast from the Past for the Seasoned Adventurer

If you loved the Zork text adventures but were dismayed by Return to Zork and Zork Nemesis, never fear - Zork Grand Inquisitor takes you back to the Underground Empire you know and love. Stunning, sometimes breath-taking detail and classic Zork humor make this the best game purchase I've made in years. I can't recommend it enough!

Plain Fun

I don't have much to say on the subject, but this game has lots of jokes. The best one 1 liner is the game is in the univirisity, but you must be there for it to be funny. All I can say is that I enjoyed this game alot, and you should to.

More Zork

If you've played any of the Zork games, you know how much fun they are. Grand Inquisitor is no exception - funny, challenging, and intelligent. I just wish they would make another sequel already.

a wonderfull game!

Absolutely one of the best pc games I've ever played. Funny, intelligent, absorbing. The problems and puzzles are well designed, so your stratagies and problem solving yield results which move you forward in the game. I never wanted it to end. I'm waiting for the next Zork.

was not to Crazy about his one

was not to Crazy about his one, I think Zork Nemisis was much better. This one has this most Annoying voiced lamp that guide you through your journey. I was not too impressed with this one, the puzzels were too easy. Zork Nemisis was much better.

very fun

This is exactly the kind of game I enjoy. It has a story line, a goal for the user and I didnt have to kill anyone to play.The puzzles were pretty easy but it just gave the game momentum.
