Long ago after I had discovered Myst (and fallen in love with it), I ran across a PC game I liked a lot. It involved alchemy and five elements. It was really well crafted fantasy world, kind of midieval, and was 3D in the sense that you can smooth scan left right up and down . It had no shooting or fighting, just moving around solving the puzzle. I think the name of it began with "Z", but not sure. Any suggestions? I don't see it on gog.com.

I used to have a copy of the CD for it, but I think I tried inatalling it once on Windows XP and it wouldn't work. It had really beautiful, well crafted scenery and would make a great game for GOG to resurrect.

I don't think it was Zork. Maybe it didn't begin with a Z.

How about Zelenhgorm?

EDIT: I assume that you've seen Zork franchise which is on gog and it's not what you want, right?

After searching online for different Zork games, I believe it might be Zork Nemesis. I just ordered a set of the CDs of that game from Amazon and found instructions on how to play that in Windows XP (which I hope will work in Window 7 32 bit). Those instructions involved making 3 subfolders CD1, CD2 and CD3 under the game folder and copying the CDs into it.

Zellenghorm looks very cool. I'll check that out.

Gog.com seems to have only the really old Zork games, not the later ones with the exquisite, smooth panning, detailed graphics.

I see you're no longer looking for the search function, but I'll give you this anyway. It might benefit someone else.
