Dread times have befallen the Kingdom of Quendor. The wizards have mysteriously disappeared. The Enchanter's Guild Hall lies in ruins. Villages are abandoned, drunken men mutter strange tales, and vicious monsters haunt the streets and wastelands. Now it falls on you, a lowly peasant, to unravel the meaning behind these ominous events. Will you accept the challenge?

Of course you will. For you're a hardy adventurer, ready to confront the most fearsome foe. And in Beyond Zork, you have an arsenal of new weapons and abilities at your disposal.

You start by designing your own character. Choose from such diverse attributes as strength, endurance, compassion, and luck, or let the computer select for you. As you venture onward, your character will evolve, reflecting your success in your quest.

Beyond Zork's sophisticated new interface makes interaction more natural than ever. In the heat of battle, the special function keys let you strike the decisive blow with a single keystroke. There's even an on-screen map to chart your progress!

As you grow in experience and abilities, you realize that you're being prepared for a great task, a task of which you know nothing... as yet. Your search for the answer will lead you deep underground, where unspeakable monsters guard the world's most fabulous treasure - the fabled Coconut of Quendor.

Beyond Zork was written by Brian Moriarty, award-winning author of Wishbringer and Trinity. Fans of Infocom's fantasy series will recognize characters and locations from previous stories, while old and new players alike will enjoy exploring the Zorkian landscape as their challenge increases and their character grows in strength and power.
