Title
Zork II is very similar to the first game, largely because they used to be combined but were split apart for the commercial release of the game. Instead of a collect-a-thon, II's centered around fighting the evil Wizard of Frobozz. It's a good change up, as his actions can add a got bit of randomness to the game.

The puzzles seemed a bit easier this time around, though I still had to look up a good bit of hints. The parser was decent and the descriptions of things still pretty funny and entertaining.

The game lacks a bit of the charm of the original though. There's just something "classic" about the first game that's missing here. Still solid though. If you're interested in interactive fiction Zork is a good place to start.
