Zork III: The Dungeon Master Hints

What else should I know about this game?

  • Older Infocom games like this one are designed a little differently than newer games that you may be used to.  It's easy to get yourself into a dead-end situation from which you have no choice but to restore (or even restart) if you want to finish.

    Also, expect lots of random events.  Some perfectly correct things to do will fail, not because you're doing anything wrong, but because your luck is just bad.  Trying again will often produce favorable results.  Also, people will come and go and things will change, so visiting places at different times throughout the game may allow you to see things you wouldn't have otherwise seen.
