## Zork III

A year in the making, *Zork III: The Dungeon Master* is the climax of the first Zork
trilogy. If you enjoyed *Zork I* and *Zork II*, you'll love *Zork III* -— it's the
most mind-boggling of them all.

Visit the mystifying Land of Shadow. Try to obtain the crown jewels of the Great
Underground Empire. Solve the royal puzzle. Delve into the secrets of the Technology
Museum. Meet some very mysterious characters. The greatest challenge is figuring out
what is going on and what you are there for. The conclusion of this game is quite satisfying.

## Starcross

Finally Infocom has entered the realm of science fiction. The result is what you'd expect
from the masters of the text adventure genre — stupendous!

You are the skipper of the *Starcross*, a one man survey ship searching for quantum black
holes. Suddenly your mass detector locates a large mass moving through your sector, but
this is no black hole. You are about to become the first human to have contact with
extra-terrestrial beings...
