I know that the old ZorkQuest Infocomics were not exactly INTERACTIVE, but
this seems to be the place on the net most densely populated by old Infocom
trivia fanatics, so I figured I'd post here. I'm writing a Zork history book,
and I'm just wondering if anyone has taken the time to wade through all the
different paths presented by the two ZorkQuests. If so, could you perhaps
answer any of the following questions for me?
-Do we have any kind of date for any of these events? 950s GUE? More
specifically?
-When was Radnor alive?
-How exactly does Dirinthrax know he's the rightful owner of the throne? And
how valid is his claim?
-What happens to the Triax when all is said and done? Or was this answered in
the never-finished ZorkQuest III?
Thanks for any information you can give a bored Zork writer.
