Summary: Zork Nemesis is a great game.
Review: If you have recently purchased the game or maybe it has been sitting around the house for a couple years and you never cared to play it till now like me then I highly recomend you play it now. This game is extremely fun and will challenge you. I think this game was better than return to zork and I have just purchased the Grand Iquisidor title. If you feel you are up to taking on the complex puzzles then I suggest you buy and play this game.

Summary: This is so far the best Zork Game
Review: This game has a wonderful plot line and a beautiful setting. It also has great graphics, short movie sequences, puzzles and tricks around every corner... Once you think you might have won, something else comes along to keep you busy. This is the type of game that will keep you on your toes for hours wondering what's next. I assure you, If you like any of the Zork games, Myst, Riven, or anything of the sort, you will Love Zork Nemesis!

Summary: Not Zork, but great fun
Review: This game is an amazing improvement over the less-than-stellar first attempt at a graphic-based Zork game, Return To Zork. The graphics remind me of a slightly-revamped Myst, and the acting is superb, although the video is rather low quality. It's also the first exploration game that I ever played which allows a 360 degree panoramic view, something I thought Riven should have used, and which Myst: Exile eventually perfected into a totally spherical view. The puzzles are very intruging, I especially like the music-based ones. The environments, music and atmosphere are genuinely evocative, and in some cases, extremely creepy. You will not sleep well after chopping heads off of dead bodies in the Gray Mountains Assylum while listening to the disembodied cries of the insane.
The plot involves several twists and turns, as you start out to help four alchemists and uncover some very dark pasts.
The only problem I find with this game is that, besides references to previous Zork games such as a portrait of Dimwit Flathead and the various place names, there's very little connecting it to the whole Zork universe. There isn't even an old brass lantern! It's a very serious game, similar to Myst, and not a fun, witty adventure through a fantasy land like Zork Zero. Never the less, I would really recommend it to anybody who's a fan of exploration games, this one will keep you occupied for good while.

Summary: TOP 3 GAMES EVER MADE
Review: This is definitly a game to lose yourself in. In the tradition of GOOD adventure games like Myst, comes Zork Nemesis, a most amazing game. There are chapters of a person's life, that one remembers clearly for the rest of his life, much like good games for good gamers. Zork: Nemesis was definitly one of three games like that for me. Myst being one, and Tetris being the other (ok, zork is nothing like tetris, but admit it, you had dreams of colored blocks, too). Anyway, buy this game as fast as you possibly can.

Summary: Possibly the best adventure game ever.
Review: This is not your typical Zork game. The traditional Infocom Zork adventure is amusing and thought-provoking, and geek culture has certainly absorbed a fair bit of the fictional world of the Great Underground Empire. Zork is renowned as some of the most wonderful fluff ever coded.Nemesis, however, is much more than an amusement. It provides a serious storyline with well acted movie clips; graphics that were stunning when the game was released, and are still not half bad a few years later; puzzles that will tie your brain in knots, and have you giggling maniacally once you see that the solution was staring you in the face; a gorgeous soundtrack; and stereo environmental sound, so that if you dim the lights and wear headphones, you feel truly immersed in this fictional world. As a bonus, the creators have done serious research into their source materials. The "alchemy" presented in the game is entirely based on real, historical sources. Most of the artwork and diagrams on walls and in books throughout the game are scans of real-world documents. If you're an esoterica history buff like me, this will add greatly to your enjoyment of the game. If you like Umberto Eco, especially _Foucault's Pendulum_, then this game is for you. (And if you haven't read Umberto Eco... what's wrong with you?! You're at Amazon! Go look him up!) Enough talk. Go play it already!

Summary: A great game, a departure from the silliness of other Zork's
Review: When I read other reviewer's comments about the humorlessness of this game relative to other Zork games, it made me feel like a real stick in the mud. I loved this game and never got through any of the other Zork games because of their obnoxious silliness. This game is more in the style of Myst, Riven, Exile etc. You are tasked with solving puzzles to get to the end of this game. All are very tied in the overall theme of the "elements". The graphics are wonderful and the story line is well contructed. The music is haunting. My teenager's found it scary. This struck me as a well constructed game, well worth the time and effort and entertaining to boot. If you liked Myst, Riven and Exile, or X-files Journeyman's projects, The Beast within or Blackstone's Chronicles you should enjoy this game.
