Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands

I asked for a refund because, even if you slowly and carefully move the mouse to the edge of the screen, the scene starts spinning out of control. I barely managed to climb the stairs at the very beginning, and I already got a headache.

Do I recommend THE game? Absolutely. It was a fav of mine back in the day. The reason I cannot recommend THIS game is because its 2021 not 1995. That it runs at all is surprising, but it looks like hell and is virtually unplayable. It was made to be played on 17" CRTs. The interlacing makes the cut scenes, there are many, nearly indiscernible. Some toying with settings may improve it some, but, to my mind, if we, the consumer, have to reprogram and modify the game ourselves to make the product usable it should be free. There are a lot of great old games out there lost to posterity. Some, like this, have been thrown back into the marketplace "as is" for us to make do with. Or not. They probably should have left this one to oblivion if there was no intention to retool it like Myst. Pity.

The UI moves too quickly no matter what speed you set it at. The game is unplayable.

I played this when I was a child and it is responsible for me getting into these types of games.

Couldn't get to settings menu to save, panning moves way too fast, it doesn't have full screen modes. It really is a bummer to not recommend it because this is one of my all time favorite games from the mid 90's era. I'd ask for a refund if I hadn't gotten it at rock bottom pricing. It would be great if the issues could get fixed.

As some others have commented, I also had to request a refund. Sound glitches a lot, and mouse panning is too fast. Extremely difficult to play, almost impossible.

brilliant game it also brings back memories old times :D from when i a kid.

This game is a classic mind expanding make you think experience. Playing this game without google search was not easy back in 1995 or whatever year it was when I had half the neighborhood kids trying to help me. ( not everyone had house hold computers at that time ) There would be 4 or 5 of us putting our heads together . That being said and what i said about the origional Zork review, the fact that steam even has this game ( without CD ROM ) is worth the price in itself. If you enjoy thinking games. Zork nemesis is a Dark Adult "Myst" type game. As myst was magical and happy. Zork is Dark n Dreadful

for me it takes a lot of remembering and thinking

Очень хорошая игра. Почти все представленные в игре загадки решаются довольно легко, но есть и несколько подлых мест. Не стоит их бояться, однако, в игре есть встроенная система подсказок. Я лично не смог решить самостоятельно три загадки в игре. Приятная музыка и достаточно интересный сюжет, пусть и с довольно распространёнными тропами. Что крайне не понравилось — эта версия для DOS с чересстрочным видео крайне паршивого качества. Более качественная версия выходила на DVD с Zork: Grand Inquisitor, но в Steam версии этой версии нет. DVD версия довольно капризная, я её прошел на старом компьютере.
