Zork: Grand Inquisitor is the third point-and-click graphic adventure game in the Zork series. The player character, AFGNCAAP (Ageless, Faceless, Gender-Neutral, Culturally Ambiguous Adventure Person), joins forces with a dungeon master named Dalboz who has been trapped in a lantern by the Grand Inquisitor, Yannick. They attempt to find three legendary objects that will restore all magic to the realm and bring about the fall of the Inquisitor.

Non-bugs
In the English version, the video where you first get the lantern has a different audio track in the DVD version than in the CD version. The subtitles are the same in both versions however, causing a slight discrepancy.
If you have both versions, you can safely substitude the DVD version's pe2em061.avi with the one from the CD version. Note that the CD version's video uses lower resolution, 320x172 pixels instead of 640x344.
