Pork 2: The Gizzard of Showbiz

Author:Bill Larkins
Genres:Fantasy>Zorkian
Humor>Satire
Released:1989
Review:

A parody of Zork 2: The Wizard of Frobozz, with an urban setting and a tapdancing chicken organ as the villain. Smaller, easier, sillier, and less biting than Pork 1. Entirely based on scenes from Zork 2 - thus, only of interest to people familiar with that game, and even to them, only as a mild amusement. Contains a LGOP-style "Lewd mode" which only affects one scene. The copy of the AGT runtime included seems to have the same problems with saved games as .

Rating: ***
