I used Basilisk II. It will run the same on a real Mac minus all of the crashes I got when I clicked out of the emulator. The screen transition movies might work better on a real Mac too. I noticed they moved too fast to be noticeable in the emulator.

I couldn't get the Return to Zork image file to work because it still asked for the CD. But I own the real CD so I used that instead. Took a while to figure out how to get the emulator recognize it. I think I had to run the emulator as Administrator in Vista so the CD driver would work.

The characters talking and all of the crystal ball wizard segments are completely FMV whenever they talk. The DOS version seems to have a mix of FMV and basic animated mouths that reminds me of South Park. I tried capturing a video demo of meeting the rye guy since that's what most people remember, but had trouble capturing the audio.
