Description
In the third game of the adventure game series Zork, you are once again a nameless adventurer, only this time you won't travel through a beautiful magical land, but are immediately cast into a deep dungeon. Like in a dream, you hear a mysterious voice telling you that you have passed all the tests but one. When consciousness returns to you, you find yourself on the endless spiral of stairs, with only your trusty lantern near you... will you be able to survive the horrors of the Dungeon?<p></p><p>Like its predecessors, <i>Zork III: The Dungeon Master</i> is a text adventure game. You read descriptions of rooms and then interact with the game by typing commands. As all early <i>Zork</i> games, it is very easy to get stuck in the game, so you'll have to reload several times in order to find the correct way.</p>
Review
★★★★★
<p>I personally enjoyed this game more than the previous two Zork games. The thought the puzzles were most very well done and the “graphics” in the royal puzzle were surprising. It turns out that I stumbled onto the solution to one of the puzzle and there was actually an item collection task, but it was more hidden and less obvious than the previous two games. For this game being a text adventure and from 1982, this was a very solid game full of great puzzles and an interesting atmosphere!</p>
