Ryan's Reviews
Hi! I'm a fan of Uncyclopedia, who's writing this article. Welcome!
This special Pee Review covers over 450 funny (and not just stupid) articles (not counting subpages) of this wiki, from the Zork trilogy to the last page. But before I do that, though, I have an introduction to share with you...
I first discovered Uncyclopedia in 2008 by a little search engine incident. I never knew it had some nonsense articles! Heck, I used/trusted it more than Wikipedia after an incident in there which I shouldn't mention to you. (I still like Wikipedia though.) I started using/joining Uncylopedia more and more in 2022 after I figured a certain pandemic would clear up, and I started typing this just in time before Uncyclopedia's 20th anniversary...
Ok, enough of me. Now to get started with the articles! Click an article name to go to that article. First up's our main attraction, the Zork trilogy...
There is an alternate version of this article
here.
This's the highlight of the article. Basically, InvisiClues says it's a random game series that has Uncyclopedia memes and fads like Grues and the word Xyzzy. While Xyzzy doesn't show up that much in the trilogy, expect to be eaten by lots of Grues! That's what I did the 1st time I played. I don't remember how many times I have died, but I'm guessing it was around Graham's Number.
BUT! Each game in the trilogy has a goal. The 1st game involves collecting around 20 treasures, the 2nd game has you reunite the Golden Egg of Arkora, and the 3rd and final one... well, let's just go talk about each game in perspective.

Like I said before, this game uses a lot of random humor and Uncyclopedia in-jokes. Grues and deaths are the most common, too... except what I don't know the lore of where most of the humor comes from. I've seen Douglas Adams's name in Zork, but not THAT much... Also, I have no idea where the "you've just gone through a dimensional portal" part of the maze came from.

Concept:

The concept is great! I don't even know why it could be about someone named "Azroth the Imprisoned Evil One," though; I don't even know who that is. Anyway, I like the concepts of the deaths, like, for example, the Rube Goldberg contraption that was in the biocomplex all along (see Game:Zork/Biocomplex4_7).

I like the prose and formatting, too. Everybody knows you can't have a Zork game without the Template:Zorkheader template!
|
Images:

Normally Zork doesn't use that much images, but there are a few areas in it that do, like the hidden (?) Glitch City in File 3. AND MOST OF THEM ARE HOTLINKED AND ARE BROKEN. >:| Luckily, DeletedUser51be906d and I had to fix a few of them.
|
Miscellaneous:

The quality of the game is good as well, though there are a few inconsistencies between areas...

Final Score:

Yeah, this's a good game. If this's your 1st time on UnGames and ESPECIALLY Uncyclopedia, I suggest you visit this article 1st. Try going east! >:)

The sequel to Zork, the humor improves a bit, thanks to the Template:Zork2died banner not being that much common, replaced with a more basic "Start over" link or something similar... (Not that I don't like it, but there are mostly parts that unfairly lead to this same page.)
|
Concept:

Another great concept! A rad sequel that belongs in these categories that doesn't suck. Much like Paper Mario 2.
|
Prose and formatting:

Almost great prose. Unlike the 1st one, this game follows a linear plot and uses the Template:Zork2header template. Fitting... Although, there are some areas where you have to type your next path into the URL above.

The even better (albeit linear) sequel of Game:Zork. Would Alexander the Great play it? Yesh!

Even more random humour! For the 3rd and final adventure in the Great Underground Empire, it would take all the humor from Zork 1 up to 11... but, still, there's a repetition of parts that make you die unexpectedly and unfairly.
|
Concept:
|

|
This would be yet another great concept... if it weren't for the fact that Zork 3 takes place in an alternate dimension, and things have changed an awful lot. But I did like the Grue/G***/Bonzi Buddy lore behind the scenes!
|
Prose and formatting:
|

|
Because of the aformentioned case, Guardian has done almost good attempt to replace every changed Grue instance back, with a few exceptions... Also, some freak named Sasuke Kid just Kept using Caps Lock to Emphasize the Part where you Have to fight Cloud to win Zork 3 (mentioned later), so I just had to fix it. (And no, L, it's not THAT funny.) And just like in Zork 2 (I guess?), you have to type in a LOT of passwords to move on to the "final boss" (also mentioned later).
|
Images:
|
10
|
Being the only (?) image in the game, it's funny to invert the Zork 3 logo in the beginning.
|
Miscellaneous:
|
6
|
The quality? Well, aside from all the red links, if you manage to die 5 times and type in all the passwords, you get to fight the Ur-Grue- only for him to revive in the Hall of Activus after 3 turns! This's an endless loop, after all, so all you have to choose at the beginning is "fly up" in order to win. Or, just wait for me to rewrite the whole thing. Nevertheless, at the end there's a teaser for Zork 4: Escape The Darkness!!, which I doubt would exist.
|
Final Score:

Well, it's pretty good, but it might need a rewrite... I think...

Well, the humor's good, given it's 78 variants of the same classic meme/fad compressed in a subpage from that article, All Your Base Are Belong To Us, though there's a few that stick out from the rest... My favorite is the Redundancy variant!

The article's supposed to tell us readres (see what I did here?) about "S" vs. "Z," "Zed," who's said to be from Power Rangers, "R", "er" vs. "re," "K" vs. "que" (Ha ha; QueQueQue!), "ou" vs. "O," "oe", "og" vs. "ogue," "um" vs. "ium," "ce" vs. "se," "X" vs. "ct" (What if Mac OS CT was real?), and, of course, various definitions. Great idea.

Classic and (almost) perfect Aesop prose with a snappy Uncyclopedia twist. The only things I don't like about the current revision are the footnotes. Also, they replaced the explained joke about the other Persian shouting "Potatoes Potatoes" with a TV Tropes link in that revision!
