Zork Zero: The Revenge of Megaboz

Zork Zero is a very well documented and user friendly game. Overall, it is a worthy addition to the Zork series and is, by far, the best one to date. Players who like text games will definitely love this game. Even those who don't usually like text games or are "not sure" about them will probably be pleasantly surprised with Zork Zero. Frankly, Zork Zero is probably the best text adventure out there. It is a lot better than many animated ones. Few animated games have Zork Zero's size and depth.
