Zork Parody Pictures

Please don't steal our pictures, We're just trying to have fun in the spirit of the games.

Let us start at the beginning for it is a good place to start as the beginning is usually where one would start something.  First, I'll exhibit the work(s) of my good friend CHARON.

It's a mixture of Zorak from the Talk show, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, now showing on Cartoon Network, and the Return to Zork box.

Originals of the Saint

Now, MY first try with Photoshop (Hopefully not the last!!)

My feelings if you mixed The Zork universe with a favorite cartoon of mine growing up...

hehe (If you didn't figure it out, it's a take off of G.I. Joe the old 70s/80s cartoon.

I wonder who this mysterious 'Dork' is?  What did he do to catch the blame of "The Forbidden Cheat"

Well...just wait...

Well, someone had to make the Spork Reference

So if you've ever wondered where my name "Saint Ruckus" came from, it's the screen name I used back in 1997 when my friends and I would terrorize people in Age of Empires from our Computer Science lab at Loyola University in New Orleans. We were known then as the Ruckii Knights or Clan Ruckus. I was Saint of Clan Ruckus. This was referring to some of my friends and thier respective screen names. Yup, there's more than just me...

and, now, as a reflection of my current situation....

and of course...
