BEYOND ZORK: THE COCONUT OF QUENDOR
by Brian Moriarty
Copyright 1987 Infocom, Inc.
Genre: fantasy
Difficulty: ^^^&&
[description]
Dread times have befallen the Kingdom of Quendor. The wizards have
mysteriously disappeared. The Enchanter's Guild Hall lies in ruins.
Villages are abandoned, drunken men mutter strange tales, and vicious
monsters haunt the streets and wastelands. Now it falls to you, a lowly
peasant, to unravel the meaning behind these ominous events. Will you
accept the challenge?
Of course you will. For you're a hardy adventurer, ready to confront the
most fearsome foe. And in Beyond Zork, you have an arsenal of new weapons
and abilities at your disposal.
You start by designing your own character. Choose from such diverse
attributes as strength, endurance, compassion, and luck, or let the
computer select for you. As you venture onward, your character will evolve,
reflecting your success in your quest.
Beyond Zork's sophisticated new interface makes interaction more natural
than ever. In the heat of battle, the special function keys let you strike
the decisive blow with a single keystroke. There's even an on-screen map to
chart your progress!
As you grow in experience and abilities, you realize that you're being
prepared for a great task, a task of which you know nothing... as yet. Your
search for the answer will lead you deep underground, where unspeakable
monsters guard the world's most fabulous treasure - the fabled Coconut of
Quendor.
Beyond Zork was written by Brian Moriarty, award-winning author of
Wishbringer and Trinity. Fans of Infocom's fantasy series will recognise
characters and locations from previous stories, while old and new players
alike will enjoy exploring the Zorkian landscape as their challenge
increases and their character grows in strength and power.
