Introduction
|
|
Warning: The following contains answers to questions that you may not want
|
|
.... YET! Read only if you are completely stuck. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!
|
|
|
|
Entrance to the Undiscovered Underground
|
|
|
|
How do I shirk my responsibilities?
|
|
1. Have you tried walking west?
|
|
2. How about East?
|
|
3. North, South, Down, Up?
|
|
4. In other words, you can't. Type Enter or NE to go underground.
|
|
|
|
The boulders just collapsed my exit route. What do I do?
|
|
1. You can try eating them.
|
|
2. There's not much you can do with them at this point. You will
|
|
need to get them removed to file your report though.
|
|
|
|
Convention Center
|
|
|
|
What's a Grue?
|
|
1. The Grue is a sinister, lurking presence in dark places. Its favorite
|
|
diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tampered by its fear of
|
|
light. No Grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have
|
|
survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.
|
|
|
|
How do I enter the Grues Convention with my lantern?
|
|
1. Read the above description of Grues.
|
|
2. They dont seem to like light, do they?
|
|
3. Have you tried dropping your lantern?
|
|
4. Of course, without your lamp, the Grues eat you.
|
|
5. You cannot enter the convention with the lantern (on or off).
|
|
|
|
How do I survive in the Grue Convention?
|
|
1. Without a light, you will have to rely on subterfuge.
|
|
2. You will need to be in costume.
|
|
|
|
Where do I find a token for the Zork Underground Subway?
|
|
1. In the bucket.
|
|
2. At the bottom of the well.
|
|
3. You know, just before the Dragon Stairs.
|
|
4. What Subway!!! This is not Zork Grand Inquisitor! This is one of those
|
|
questions which was put in here for the sole purpose of teaching a lesson -
|
|
do not use the presence or absence of a question on a certain topic as an
|
|
indication of what is important, and don't assume that long answers
|
|
indicated important questions.
|
|
|
|
I'm hungry and I want a souvenir of my jaunt. How do I purchase items at
|
|
the Souvenir Stand?
|
|
1. Have you tried buying one?
|
|
2. Don't have enough money, huh?
|
|
3. What about taking one?
|
|
4. The salesman doesn't seem to be into charity at the moment.
|
|
5. You'll need to get rid of the salesman before you can obtain the candy
|
|
or anything else at the souvenir stand.
|
|
|
|
How do I chase away the salesman?
|
|
1. He looks kind of creepy, don't you think?
|
|
2. Why would his face be so unmoving - it isn't natural.
|
|
3. Maybe that's not his face!
|
|
4. Have you spoken to him yet?
|
|
5. He's wearing a mask. You need to remove it.
|
|
|
|
How do I take the mask off the salesman?
|
|
1. He's pretty well out of reach behind the counter.
|
|
2. You'll need to get him to come closer.
|
|
3. Type "Salesman, hello" or "Talk to salesman" to get him to lean forward.
|
|
Then, take his mask. Be sure to read the description carefully.
|
|
|
|
Am I mistaken, or did the game just describe a Grue?
|
|
1. Pretty sacrilegious, huh?
|
|
2. Didn't think that was coming, did you?
|
|
3. We're pretty proud of ourselves for taking that chance.
|
|
4. Well, it wasn't that big a chance as we had Marc Blank and Mike Berlyn
|
|
write the game.
|
|
|
|
Was that the first time a Grue was described in a Zork game?
|
|
1. Of course. Everything in this game is brand, spanking new.
|
|
2. Well, except for Grues.
|
|
3. And Zork.
|
|
4. And the lantern.
|
|
5. Now that you mention it, you can Frotz a Grue in Sorcerer anytime you
|
|
are in the dark to get a brief description of these fearsome creatures.
|
|
|
|
What can I do with the popcorn?
|
|
1. You can string it together for a decoration.
|
|
2. How about shipping your computer to mom?
|
|
3. Maybe soak up a small reservoir?
|
|
4. All you can do with it is eat it.
|
|
|
|
What do I do with the masks, gloves and body suits in the Changing Room?
|
|
1. You could wear them.
|
|
2. Do you see any items that resemble any of the local wild life?
|
|
3. Which ones make up the best Grue disguise?
|
|
4. Note the look of the Grue Salesman when you take off his mask. Then wear
|
|
the same items to dress up like a Grue.
|
|
|
|
How do I survive the Grue Convention
|
|
1. Your costume only fools the Grues for so long. You can't survive more
|
|
than a few moves.
|
|
|
|
After jumping down the chute, how do I stop the walls from collapsing in
|
|
the Trash Compactor?
|
|
1. Have you braced the walls with the pole?
|
|
2. Did you shoot the snake creature in the water?
|
|
3. Have you tried a laser blaster on the door?
|
|
4. What trash compactor? There is no way to survive jumping down the chute.
|
|
|
|
Why do I want to go in the convention anyway?
|
|
1. You need to grab the glasses.
|
|
|
|
Theater
|
|
|
|
How do I navigate the maze of seats?
|
|
1. Don't you love mazes?
|
|
2. This one is huge.
|
|
3. Did you try dropping objects in each of the environments and then
|
|
mapping the areas?
|
|
4. Wow, you could walk for days.
|
|
5. Better yet, don't bother. There is no way to get through the maze. It
|
|
only exists to teach you not to go into mazes.
|
|
|
|
How do I take a lens off a footlight?
|
|
1. They are hot to the touch.
|
|
2. You need something to protect your hands.
|
|
3. Wear any of the gloves from the changing room.
|
|
|
|
What's in the trunk?
|
|
1. Why don't you open it?
|
|
|
|
Hall of Science
|
|
|
|
How do I raise the cover and push the button?
|
|
1. That cover is pretty heavy. You need to keep holding it with one hand.
|
|
2. It takes another hand to push the button.
|
|
3. You need to drop all of your inventory you are carrying to open the
|
|
cover and push the button.
|
|
4. You do not need to drop items you are wearing.
|
|
|
|
How do I see the image under the cover?
|
|
1. The image is fuzzy and out of alignment.
|
|
2. Did you notice the colors?
|
|
3. You will need special eye wear to correct the image.
|
|
4. What about the lenses?
|
|
5. Put the red and blue lenses in the glasses.
|
|
6. Wear the glasses, raise the cover and push the button.
|
|
|
|
How do I get through the sealed door?
|
|
1. You need to align the symbols on the floor.
|
|
2. Did you look at the image under the cover?
|
|
3. Place the models on the correct symbols to unlock the door.
|
|
|
|
Where do I find a second quint-Zorkmid coin?
|
|
1. Did you check the trunk for a second coin?
|
|
2. Did you look under all the seats?
|
|
3. Maybe you should steal one from the Grues?
|
|
4. Of course, that would all be too easy.
|
|
5. There is only one quint-Zorkmid coin.
|
|
|
|
How do I consult the oracle with only 5 Zorkmids?
|
|
1. You need a way to make your money last.
|
|
2. Did you look at the coin?
|
|
3. Interesting shape, isn't it?
|
|
4. You could try to attach something to the coin so you can retrieve it.
|
|
5. TIE THE TINSEL TO THE COIN. You can now insert the coin twice.
|
|
|
|
How do I open the Janitor's Closet?
|
|
1. Did you Rezrov the door?
|
|
2. Whoops, wrong game again. Maybe something else will work?
|
|
3. How about a skeleton key?
|
|
4. Actually, the skeleton is the key to this puzzle.
|
|
5. Consult the Oracle in the Museum of Illusions for more information.
|
|
|
|
The Cage
|
|
|
|
How do I survive the Rat-Ants
|
|
1. They are pretty hungry.
|
|
2. Maybe you could feed them.
|
|
3. Hey, they like candy?
|
|
4. Is there anything else sweet around that could curve their appetite?
|
|
5. The boulders blocking your escape are sweet.
|
|
|
|
How do I get the Rat-Ants to the Tunnel?
|
|
1. They are not very smart.
|
|
2. And they like candy.
|
|
3. Maybe you could lure them to the tunnel.
|
|
4. Leave a trail of candy between the Cage and the Cultural Complex.
|
|
|
|
I escaped, but so did the Rat-Ants.
|
|
1. You need to arm yourself with a deterrent before you make your escape.
|
|
2. Did you know that Rat-Ants are insects, not rodents?
|
|
3. Make sure you have the Bug Spray before you lead the Rat- Ants to the
|
|
outside.
|
|
4. Oh yeah, make sure you don't waste the spray before then either.
