Zork #4: Conquest of Quendor
The fourth book in the Zork series, the “Conquest of Quendor”,
featured silly riddles reminiscent of Zork II. Bivotar and
Juranda search for the Helm of Zork in an attempt to bring
peace to the Land of Frobozz, in defiance of Jeearr,
a riddle-telling demon. There are 17 possible endings.

Romeo and/or Juliet
What if Romeo never met Juliet? What if Juliet got really buff
instead of moping around all day? What if they teamed up to
take over Verona with robot suits? This choose-your-own-path
version of Romeo and Juliet—packed with fun puzzles, secrets,
and quadrillions of possible storylines—lets you decide where
the plot goes every time you read. You might play as Romeo, or
as Juliet, or as both of them at the same time. You might even
unlock additional playable characters!
That’s right. We figured out how to have unlockable characters
in books.

Listen to the initial openVOIP archive. The story starts at the
1/2 mark: http://anonradio.net/archive/201809070200_openvoip.mp3
We began reading the Zork story during an OpenVOIP. We’ll pick up
where we left off at the top of this episode, then continue on
with a reading of Romeo and/or Juliet. Will we finish both
stories? Will we die horrible deaths over and over? Will there be
robots?
