Anybody ever play this game? Anybody ever BEAT this game, with all its crippling bugs and unwinnable situations that crop up? Ide KILL for some fixes for this thing.

I did beat the game ages ago - but not without a walk-through. If I recall, it was this game and SQ4 which both drove me mad until I discovered the internet.

I've got it. Never beat it, though. Never even really tried to play it through yet. Are there still bugs even in ScummVM?

I know theres still bugs in it with DOSBox.
Never tried ScummVM. 3 most blatent Ive run into:

1. Murdock's House. You're sposed to be able to take some of his items with you "defeat" him. But I run into a bug at times where they keep warping back into his house.

2. The ending....
Ive gotten to it before. Can NEVER get to the last screen, in some 20 playthroughs. I throw all my items at the bridge, and it never raises. And Im sure Im not missing anything.

3. Theres a screen near the end where some graphical corruption can occur, and you can't click on anything. If that happens, say goodbye to your game.

Anybody know how to get this working with ScummVM?
Cutscenes aint workin.

Did you manage to get all of the data files?

I remember beating it with a friend of mine about 15 years ago. We had to make copious use of a hint guide and it still took weeks if not months. That game was pure evil.

The entire Zork series was made in Hell, by Satan himself....
Its like a torture I cant stop inflicting on myself. Thanks for the tip, btw, Collector. Still doesnt work QUITE right, but im workin on it.
