	Science Fair Projects - Beyond Zork
		Beyond Zork (full title: Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor) was an interactive fiction computer game written by Brian Moriarty and released by Infocom in 1987.
		It was one of the last games in Infocom's Zork series; or, rather, one of the last Zork games that many Infocom fans consider "official" (titles such as Return to Zork, Zork: Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor were created after Activision had dissolved Infocom as a company and kept the "brand name").
		Beyond Zork was one of 20 Infocom games bundled in the 1991 compilation The Lost Treasures of Infocom published by Activision.

	MacGamer - Get In The Game (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Zork GI's gameplay, based off of the Zork: Nemesis engine, is extremely intuitive and flexible with its Z-Vision technology that provides gamers with a 360-degree perspective of the gaming environment.
		Zork fans will recognize the phonetically goofy spell namesas you start out with three spells: voxam, which seperates the energies of different magics, rezrov, which unlocks doors, and igram, which turns purple things invisible.
		The Empire in Zork: GI is distinctively mechanical and functionally backwards as cogs and sprockets work together to create the divine nothing which reflects the comically inffectual rule of Yannick.

	Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor - Review - Adventure Classic Gaming - ACG - Adventure Games, Interactive Fiction ...
		Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor is a game that works very hard to bridge the gaps between the Zork and Enchanter trilogies.
		Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor shares with its predecessors as among Infocom’s interactive fiction titles by sporting a powerful parser that is capable of understanding full English sentences and a large vocabulary.
		Overall, Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendo attempts to reach beyond the traditional model to become a true adventure/role-playing hybrid.

		Designed by Brian "Professor" Moriarty (who is more famous as designer of Trinity and Loom), Beyond Zork attempts to bridge the narrative gap between two of Infocom's best-selling trilogies, Zork and Enchanter.
		RPG quirks aside, Beyond Zork excels in all the other areas that Infocom was famous for.
		Although the RPG elements in Beyond Zork are well thought out, they come across more as an interesting distraction from traditional puzzle-solving than an integrated experience.

	Zork
		Zork was one of the first interactive fiction computer games and an early descendent of ADVENTURE (also known as Colossal Cave).
		Zork can run on modern Z-machine interpreters, as well as the older models it was made for originally.
		Zork distinguished itself in its genre as an especially rich game, in terms of both the quality of the storytelling and the sophistication of its text parser, which was not limited to simple verb-noun commands ("hit grue"), but understood full sentences ("hit the grue with the Elvish sword").

	Beyond Zork review
		Beyond Zork's title suggests that it continues the Zork series, but it actually has little in common with the originals--the heavy reliance on magic suggests the Enchanter series, and the sense of exploring a populated land rather than a series of caverns gives the game a different feel.
		In Beyond Zork, though the character qualities are occasionally relevant, there are few instances where the player increases his or her intelligence or strength merely in order to be smarter or stronger; usually, the increases are directly linked to solving puzzles.
		Another factor separating Beyond Zork from Zorks I-III is the NPC element--there are as many of them here as in the first three games combined (perhaps more, depending on whom one includes on each count), and most of them are well developed and coded.

		It was one of the last games in Infocom's Zork series; or, rather, one of the last Zork games that many Infocom fans consider "official" (titles such as Zork: Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor were created after Activision had dissolved Infocom as a company and kept the "brand name").
		Some other features of Beyond Zork previously unseen in Infocom's games include a number of magic items whose initial locations and descriptions are randomly determined, and area maps in which the same set "rooms" appear in random configurations.
		Like Infocom's other games, Beyond Zork is platform independent and runs on a virtual computer architecture called the Z-machine.

	Zork - GameInnovation
		Zork is probably the most famous of all the text adventures (interactive fiction computer games) released by Infocom.
		The original Zork game was developed on the DEC PDP-10 between 1977 and 1979, then subsequently broken down into three instalments (Zork I-III) for wider release when the programmers founded the Infocom company in 1979.
		The Z-Machine (Z for Zork) was a virtual machine developed by Infocom that allowed games to be built with a set of story files, which could then be compiled with any Z-Machine to create the game.

	Classic Gaming: Infocom's Zork Trilogy
		Zork excelled in the genre of computer based interactive fiction and laid the foundation for Infocom, one of the classic game companies of the 1980s.
		Infocom, the company behind Zork, quickly rose to the top of the charts with a series of imaginative and sophisticated games.
		Later text adventures such as Beyond Zork (1987) and Zork Zero (1988) did not do well enough, and the plug was pulled on Infocom in 1989.

	Beyond Zork (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Although playing previous games in the Zorkian universe, which include the three Zorks, the three Enchanters, and Wishbringer, is not at all necessary, you will more thoroughly enjoy all of the innuendos, characters, objects and places in Beyond Zork if you have.
		Another major element of Beyond Zork that makes it so successful is use of attributes/qualities for your character, in an attempt, as Moriarty stated, to "attract the role-playing people to interactive fiction.
		Beyond Zork may just have set a precedent in the software industry for adventures of all kinds, text and otherwise, because of its dependence on a strong story with captivating elements that uses both the creativity of the player and the computer it is played on to come to life.

		Beyond Zork was already a native PC game, it embraced some RPG aspects and used the extended IBM charset for a primitive automap and some status bars.
		Zork Nemesis was strongly influenced by Myst and is very different from the other Zork games.
		From Zork Zero on, the games usually came out on the Mac pretty soon after they came out on the PC, except the last one, Zork Grand Inquisitor, which was released in late 2001, with far higher system requirements (G3 233MHz vs. Pentium 90/166).

		To when it was converted to the IIgs, I do not know exactly but could hazard a guess it wasn't until at least late 1988, as the game included the first version of GS/OS to boot with.
		Beyond Zork has the privilege of being the only stand alone, commercial release of a IIgs text adventure, to my knowledge.

		Beyond Zork also allowed the player to create their own male or female character, with that character being personally referred to in parts of the game.
		Zork Zero: The Revenge of Megaboz also attempted to sift through the previous ten years of the Zork games, and tie up all those loose ends and open questions that never seemed to have a concrete answer such as the origin of the white house with the boarded front door.
		Perhaps it should be noted that the two recent Zork games (RTZ and ZN) were not largely embraced by diehard Zork fans, who felt that the true essence of the Zork legends could only ever be contained in the original Infocom Zork Trilogy.
