ZORK III Part One
Well, you've come a long way since you first stood by the
mailbox outside the house in the forest.  You've defeated the
thief, outwitted the Wizard of Frobozz, and now, you stand at the
foot of the endless stairs, ready to embark on the final part of
your journey.  So, pick up the lamp, turn it on, and head along
due South until you come to the shore of the lake. Drop the lamp
, you might as
well go forward.  So, just head along North and you will come to
the Water Slide.  Go North down the slide, and guess where you
are?  In the Damp Passage!  And there's the torch, so pick it up,
because you're certainly going to need a light
source...especially when you think of where you're going next.
So, from the Damp Passage hike along West to the Junction , then
South into Creepy Crawl, and Southwest into the Shadow Land. Here
we come to another variable portion of the game.  You will have
to wander around in the Shadow Land until a cloaked and hooded
figure appears.  When that happens, the sword will suddenly
materialize in your hand, and you will be able to fight. However,
since there's no way of telling when that will happen, you just
have to keep moving around until it does.  At least you will get
a chance to practice some elementary map-making!  Also, this is
the most dangerous part of the game, as the figure is quite
capable of killing you, too!  So, best to save before you enter
Shadow Land.   When the mysterious figure finally appears, attack
him with your sword until he is badly wounded and cannot defend
himself.  At that point, get his hood.  The figure will then
disappear, leaving the cloak behind.  Get that also.  Now, you
have to get out of here, and I can't tell you exactly how, since
there's no way of knowing exactly where you were when the fight
started.  However, if you go Eastwards, you will exit the Shadow
Land at either the Creepy Crawl or the Foggy Room.  From either
place, go North to the Junction.
ZORK III Part Two
From the Junction, it's West through the Barren Area, and West
again to the Cliff.  Bet you just can't wait to climb down the
rope, huh?  Well, pick up the bread first, then go down to the
ledge.  Well, well, a chest!  Too bad you don't have a key to
open it.  In fact, there's no way for you to open it at all.  But
don't despair, there's a way of doing it. Just wait around and
someone will come along the top of the cliff.  You may not really
trust him, but tie the rope to the chest when he asks, and wait
around some more.  Eventually, he will return and help you back
up the cliff.  He will also give you a staff, which is what
you're really after here.  Take the staff, then go back down to
the ledge, and from there, to the Cliff Base. Now trek South to
the Flathead Ocean, and do a little more waiting.  Sooner or
later a ship will come floating by.  As soon as you see it, say:
"Hello, Sailor."  The man in the ship will throw something onto
the beach for you.  Take a look, and you will see it's a vial.
It'll come in handy later, so pick it up.  Now comes the fun
part: You have to wait for the earthquake .
While you're waiting, you might want to wander around a little,
although you've been to most of the accessible places by now. In
any case, wherever you are, once the earthquake hits, make your
way to the Creepy Crawl, and from there East into the Tight
Squeeze, then East again into the Crystal Grotto.  Then all the
way South to the Great Door, and East into the Museum Entrance.
Now, open the East door, then go North into the Museum.  Look at
the gold machine
