Zork: Grand Inquisitor is a humorous 3D Point-and-Click Adventure Game, part of the Zork series, combining high quality (for 1997) 3D pictures, slightly lower quality animations, and text to describe the ending and the death scenes.(Full back-story can be found here, though parts of it conflict with the story in the game.)About a hundred years before the start of the game, two fellow wizards-in-training, Mir Yannick and Dalboz of Girth became friends. However, while Dalboz was the most powerful and promising wizard in training, Mir was found to suffer from M.D.D. (Magic Deficit Disorder), and flunked out of the school. Consequently, the two friends had a falling out, which culminated in Dalboz accidentally casting an immortality spell on them, and they went their separate ways. Dalboz eventually ascended to become the third Dungeon Master, and retired to a cottage underground and became extremely bored (yet unable to kill himself), while Mir joined the Zorkastrian Seminary and advanced through its ranks. During this time, magic began to decline, aided by Mir's use of the Totemizer, an ancient invention he refurbished, which rather than killing a magical creature or user (and thus allowing their magic to escape back into the environment), it would pulverize them and squish them, sealing them in a tiny token, forever unable to escape without the use of magic.Dalboz came out of retirement to confront Yannick, but in the ensuing struggle Dalboz was transformed into a lantern (which Mir didn't see), and forgotten about.With magic on the decline and the world in his hands, Mir Yannick ruled the land with an iron fist, using Totemization for the smallest crimes, and banned all use of magic, instead forcing everyone to rely completely on technology, which had previously just been a supplement to magic. (Zork has a technology level somewhere around World War II, though it can vary wildly. They can harness the power of electricity, and have radio, television, and movies, but lack the technology for cars, planes, or firearms.)Enter the player, a PermaSuck vacuum salesman from Parts Unknown, who enters Port Foozle moments before curfew, and must find someplace to stay before he's found by Inquisition guards. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Zork: Grand Inquisitor (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: There's a door in the Cathedral that's barred from the other side, and cannot be unlocked with Rezrov. The only way through is to hurl yourself into the Totemizer and let it transport you to a storage bin on the other side. It works only if you're sure to deactivate the PermaSeal function on the machine, so that once you're on the other side, you pop out of being a totem. Fail to do that, and you Have a Nice Death. | |

Unwinnable by Design: At one point in the game, the Griff gets the Coconut of Quendor from within the mouth of a dragon, but then someone in the dragon's stomach says that he needs a coconut to make a piina colada and tosses you a rope for you to tie to a tooth. If you decide to drop the Coconut of Quendor down the dragon's throat instead to appease the guy, the Griff will comment, "Somehow I don't think that was its intended usage." | |

You can open the case to take out the hammer, but you cannot remove the sword or the map until you close the case and smash the glass cover with the hammer. | |

Methuselah Syndrome: Most of the named characters. Dalboz and Mir Yannick are justified by immortality spells cast on themselves. Lucy might be explained by being the granddaughter of a wizard, and mages are generally long lived in this setting. There's no justification for Antharia Jack, however. Even the supplemental material finds it odd that he's lived so long without aging. | |

What the Hell, Player? | |
| Zork: Grand Inquisitor (Video Game) / int_72dd7026 | comment |
What the Hell, Player?: Although most Game Over scenarios come with plenty of warning or are caused by failing a puzzle, a number can only be seen if the player goes out of their way to get themselves killed or Totemized. The Totemizer alone has eight unique fail states, and Dalboz will chew you out in a number of them. | |

Denser and Wackier: Zork games were always a mixture of comedy and fantasy to begin with, but this one really ramps up the "comedy" half of things. This is apparent as soon as you start the game, with non-stop banter from the Inquisition giving rather darkly humorous threats to all dissent. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball: At one point near the end of the game, Lucy Flathead time travels back to Port Foozle before the Inquisition took over, and ends up playing a game of Strip Grue Fire Water with Antharia Jack. If you lose, Lucy would run out of Jack's house in a panic and hide in a nearby building, where she eventually becomes the unseen fish merchant that you had to take a can of Mead Lite from at the beginning of the game. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Zork: Grand Inquisitor (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: This game could be seen as one long nod to all the previous Zork games, even Nemesis. One of the Cosmic Keystones is kept inside the White House. The Coconut of Quendor was also featured in Beyond Zork, as the perfect container for the knowledge of magic during magic's destruction. The Cube of Foundation was the main plot device in the last game in the Enchanter trilogy, Spellbreaker. And many of the spells in the game first appeared in the Enchanter trilogy. Flood Control Dam #3 features in several earlier Zork games. When the player gets Dalboz's alarm system drunk, it says "Want some rye? Course ya do!" This is an oft-repeated line from Return to Zork. The bartender at Port Foozle (in the past) thinks this when Lucy reads his mind. Boos's Mill (where the line originated) is shown as a painting in Dalboz's bedroom. The Inquisition's headquarters is clearly a re-purposed Steppinthrax Monastery from Zork: Nemesis. Even the Underground station where you can get in from refers to it as the Monastery. Scenes from Nemesis appear as images on the pillars puzzle at G.U.E. Tech, and there's a reference to Thaddium on the soda machine (appropriately enough, the time-delayed explosive item shares some similarity with the Irondune breakout puzzle in Nemesis). The flickering and bickering torches at the white house were first seen in Zork Zero. At the end of the game You take over the title of Dungeon Master, which also happened to the protagonist at the end of Zork 3 If you climb inside an active Totemizer with it set on "Inquisition Hall" the game states that you lay there in complete boredom for hundreds of years and eventually become Ms. Peeper's paperweight. | |

Cutting the Knot | |
| Zork: Grand Inquisitor (Video Game) / int_c2299d6e | comment |
Cutting the Knot: That cage surrounded by chessboards? All you have to do is smash it with a wooden plank. If you listen carefully to all the instructions on the Hades Shuttle Courtesy Phone, you can figure out which sequence of buttons get a shuttle dispatched. It's a lot easier, however, to just cast Kendall, the "Simplify Instructions" spell. When you face a six-armed invisible guard blocking your way on a rope bridge, you just cut away the bridge, letting him fall to his death. You can then build a new bridge using magic. A puzzle requires you to close all the floodgates at Dam #3 using controls which open or close the gates in patterns. However, this is impossible by just using the controls. You have to alter the pattern using Rezrov, the "Open" spell. | |

Shout-Out: The Coconut of Quendor is an apparent parody of the Amulet of Yendor, the MacGuffin from Rogue (and subsequently NetHack). Two types of things the Hades beast assumes you're looking for are red pages and blue pages. If you try to gain entrance to the tavern with Griff, you'll occasionally get; Near the start of the game, there's a computer in Antharia Jack's store showing a screen from the text adventure game Planetfall. In the endgame, an off-screen guard says "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" The game opens with a black and white newsreel Exposition Dump titled "Propaganda on Parade", mimicking the "News on the March" segment at the beginning of Citizen Kane. If you cast Kendall on the instructions for Double Fanucci found in a student's locker, the result is a single sentence: "The only way to win is not to play." | |

Hypocrite | |
| Zork: Grand Inquisitor (Video Game) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: After running his entire regime persecuting and stamping down magic in favor of technology, the Grand Inquisitor succumbs to the temptation of the Coconut of Quendor's magic. It does make some sense, however, given that he desperately wanted to learn magic in his youth and did not have the aptitude for it (to put it lightly), and the Coconut of Quendor had tremendous magical power. This gets him killed if you cast Maxov. | |

Have a Nice Death | |
| Zork: Grand Inquisitor (Video Game) / int_d933263 | comment |
The Have a Nice Death screen and summation is a Mythology Gag to the text adventure format of the originals. | |

Plot Tailored to the Party | |
| Zork: Grand Inquisitor (Video Game) / int_e71ad328 | comment |
Plot Tailored to the Party: Each time tunnel contains a fragment of Zork's past that only one of the totemized characters can explore fully. Griff can fly, Brog is strong, and Lucy can read minds. That said, there's one time tunnel that you'll have to send more than one totem through in order to get a needed spell. | |
