Encyclopedia Frobozzica
The Encyclopedia Frobozzica is a fictional encyclopedia
in the Zork universe featured in computer games, initially by
Infocom and later by Activision. There are multiple versions of
the encyclopedia on the Internet. The name is a portmanteau word
formed by combining Encyclopædia Britannica and Frobozz,
a name that was used widely in the Zork games.

Partial versions of the encyclopedia are included with
some of the Zork games, in digital and/or hard-copy form. The game
Zork Zero included the encyclopedia as an object in the game, which
the player could consult by typing:
Consult encyclopedia about ...
The references within the encyclopedia were necessary to solve some
of the game's puzzles.
Its entries were at times reminiscent of other fictional
encyclopedias such as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the
Encyclopedia Galactica.
