**ZORKQUEST: ASSAULT ON EGRETH CASTLE (⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐)** is
the latest in the new Infocomics series from ***<u>Tom Snyder Productions
and Infocom</u>***. Infocomics are not games, but rather interactive entertainment
meant to be enjoyed much as one would enjoy a book or
movie. Simple graphics are spiced with cinematic techniques such as
pans and zooms, and the stories can be followed along different paths
that allow you to see portions of the action from the perspectives of
different characters in them. This fantasy is to be the first in a
ZORKQUEST series, and it sends a small band of travelers to the castle
of an evil wizard for an adventure centered around a magic amulet.
This is the second of the Infocomics that we've seen, and we found it
somewhat less entertaining than the very humorous LANE MASTODON.
Somehow it lacks the richness of its namesake interactive fiction
series. And it didn't move fast enough for us. Even though there is
some user control over the speed of the program, we found ourselves
wishing that we could set a faster speed than the maximum permitted
by the program. (Even the fastest speed seems suitable only for the
average to slightly slower-than-average reader.) (Solo use; Keyboard.)
Available for Apple II, C64/128, MS-DOS.
