Zork Grand Inquisitor DVD Shipped

Zork Grand Inquisitor DVD Shipped is the story on November 30, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. Activision will ship its first DVD-ROM title, Zork Grand Inquisitor, to retail outlets throughout the United States and Canada the week of November 30, 1998. The game, which was originally available for CD-ROM, will carry a suggested retail price of $39.95.

The latest installment in the best-selling Zork series, Zork Grand Inquisitor, allows players to see many of the famed locations and characters from the Zork universe. The White House, GUE Tech and a Brogmoid, are just a few highlights players will encounter as they travel back in Zork time. For the DVD-ROM version, Activision reprogrammed the PC game's video sequences using MPEG-2 video compression technology, and is taking advantage of the disc's extra storage capacity, by offering the CD-ROM version of Zork Nemesis on the ROM. Physical releases still matter, especially when the box gives collectors something better than another plain jewel case.
