It should be noted that from a technical viewpoint, this engine has nothing in common with the [[MADE]] engine used for [[Return to Zork]].

==ZGI DVD TODO's==
==ZGI DVD TODO's==
* Add support for the quite rare DVD version
* AC3 audio decoding is a bit hacky, with hard-coded volume adjustments for each video. It would be good if someone could figure out how to do without these.
* Check for the difference between the CD version of ZGI and the DVD version
** Potentially higher resolution (Window and/or videos)
** Potentially different video file format
 
==Other TODO's==
* Make sure all image rendering is endian safe
* Add 'true' UTF-16 support for non-english versions of the game. (See [https://github.com/RichieSams/scummvm/blob/zengine/engines/zvision/string_manager.cpp#L214 StringManager])
