    It seems like a good old weekend to play some good old games, and luckily there's a website dedicated to supporting exactly that. This weekend, GOG has a mad rush of Zork titles and other "Activision Treasures" on sale, including Zork: Grand Inquisitor, Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands, Return to Zork and The Zork Anthology, which has Zork 1-3, Beyond Zork, Zork Zero and Planetfall.All Zorky titles are half off, for $3 each this weekend, along with Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, Caesar 3 and Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption, the last of which we hear was recently rebooted as an open-world western. Or, wait. That may have been something else entirely.

  • Zork Nemesis adds some FMV to GOG

    Have you always wanted to try your hand at an entry in the Zork franchise, but possess a deep-seated fear of lengthy reading sessions? Don't fret -- the latest addition to the GOG line-up, Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands, is more pre-occupied with Myst III-esque visuals and full motion video cutscenes than drowning the player in deluges of monochromatic text. Though, we'd understand if there were people who are also deathly afraid of FMV, too. (Night Trap still gives us the heebie-jeebies.) Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands is available on GOG.com for $6 -- which seems like a reasonable price to find out why those lands are so darn forbidden.
