P O R K I I (AGT/PD) In this spoof of Zork 2, your aim is to rid the neighbourhood of the dreaded tap-dancing Chicken Gizzard. Like the Wizard in Zork 2, the Gizzard will cast spells on you at various stages in the game. These are random and unavoidable and for this reason have been ignored in this solution - just WAIT until the spell wears off, then continue to follow the solution. There is also a Smoke-filled Room which corrresponds to the Carousel Room in Zork 2. Avoid this until you can't avoid it as you will exit randomly. Mapping will show that, as in Zork 2, there is one room you can't enter which is, as before, to the west. You won't be able to go this way till the smoke is removed. START: (At Bottom of Crevice) - Read plaque - (credits) - get lamp - light it - S - S - S - SW - SE - ENTER - (a Picnic Area, you see a motorcycle, gasoline can and a match.
