* * * Zork I Hints * * *
1. The Timber Room
2. Hades
3. The Platinum Bar
4. The Pot of Gold
5. Opening the Egg
6. The Bauble
7. The Sluice Gates
1. Consider the uses of a basket, as well as alternate light sources.
Remember that the solution to a problem may not necessarily reside in
the same room...or at the same height.
2. First, get the spirits' attention. Having done that, there's only two
other things left to do, so play around a little until you have
everything in the right order. Read any good books lately?
3. This one is easy, if subtle. Consider the outstanding quality of the
room, and make an order of it.
4. Well, you know where to look, right? You just have to do something
first. Have you seen anything around that might remind you of a rainbow?
Get the point?
5. The program didn't lie: *YOU* have neither the skills nor the expertise,
so who else is left? Be generous, it will pay off in the end.
6. First, you need to have the egg open. Then, you have to go to the
logical place and do the logical thing. When the egg is open, this
should be music to your ears.
7. Everything you need is at hand. Play around in the Maintenance Room, and
remember to check other rooms as well for a change. Tools can come in
handy, too.
* * * Zork II Hints * * *
1. The Riddle Room
2. The Red Sphere
3. The Dragon
4. The Balloon
5. The Bank
6. The Menhir
7. The Oddly-Angled Room
8. The Demon
1. Aren't riddles a pain? This one should make you thirsty. (Think about
that for awhile)
2. You can't do this one by yourself, so bring along some help. And keep
in mind that just because you can't see something, that doesn't mean
it's out of range.
3. You can't do anything with him where you find him; now, if you could
just get him to follow you...
4. Balloons are filled with hot air; seen anything flammable around
lately?
5. Yes, this is certainly a tricky one! The key is the curtain of light;
pay close attention to its description, as well as the piece of paper on
the floor. Also keep in mind that things are not always what they seem
to be here, either.
6. Ah, if only you had magical powers, you might be able to do something
about this!
7. First, remember that this room is *oddly-angled*. Second, what does the
club look like to you? Third, read the name on the club carefully; that
should give you some ideas. Fourth, what's on the floors? Think about
all that and you should be able to figure out what to do here.
8. A *very* greedy character...but he will help you, if you know what you
want! (Hint: remember the Menhir!)

1. The Hooded Figure
2. The Chest
3. Scenic Vista

him...he has something you need.
2. *You* will certainly never be able to open it.
3. What would you do here if you couldn't see? And don't forget what's on
the wall.
4. Remember the book from Zork I? No? Well, just be friendly!
5. First, read the date on the cage carefully. Second, don't be greedy!
Third, the way to bring back what you have should be obvious; you just
have to look in the right place.
6. Don't take the easy way out...be pushy! (It helps to have paper and
pencil handy here!) Westward Ho!
7. The solution is transparent.... bottoms up!

tasket...").
3. Again, the disks will be helpful. Also, be a litterbug!
4. This one you have to look for, but it isn't far away. Shake a few
things, and see what happens
5. First, you have to weasel your way to the Green Dock. After that, those
mysterious disks will once again come in handy.

could see, if only in a fragmentary way.
