[edit] General Information

There are three Zork games: Zork, Zork 2, and Zork 3. The names of these games originate from the Zork series of text-adventure games, made by Infocom. However, the Uncyclopedia version is designed to humor, and Zork 3 is acclaimed to be unfinished. In both the Uncyclopedia and Infocom Zork games, the most common enemy you will encounter is a Grue. Grues will eat adventurers without a sign, and are generally very difficult to defeat. In the Uncyclopedia Zork, however, Grues are weak to extreme sarcasm. ALso, in the Uncyclopedia Zork, as you progress, you will find Eurgs. These are the complete opposite of Grues (hence the name), and are strong towards extreme sarcasm. They are, however, often repelled by your 'disgusting vulnerability to Grues'.

[edit] Game Strategies

In this section, I will attempt to give you general tips for getting through the game successfully.

Do not ever examine or interact with grues, as they will kill you.
Try to stay away from having to use your lightcannon, or unjamming it.
The restore and save links that appear when you lose will take you too far back. Use your browser's back button.
Try ridiculous answers, because sometimes they will work.
Avoid doint the same thing too many times. However, sometimes this may help.

[edit] "Save Files"

Ah, the section you've been waiting for. This part will include links to "landmark" positions in the games. However, it is reccommended that you also play previous parts, as then you will understand the basic plot and/or the current course of events.
