Synopsis

From the dawn of the age of computer games, one of the greatest challenges has always been Zork. This is the classic, the standard against which all adventure games are measured. Through five best-selling games, the world of Zork has been the source of fantastic quests by intrepid computer heroes. Now, at last, readers can enter teh world of Zork without a computer, but with a hero at their side. Mirakles is a hero who can face the challenge of Zork with nothing more than his sword and faithful companion Glorian. With Glorian prodding him ever onward, Mirakles descends into the Great Underground Empire where he encounters Spike the Protector, the Dragon's Lair, the Wizard's Workroom, the winged vampire were-unicorn, and, of course, the Warm Boot of Frobozz.
