just wondering which zork game was the one with the *photo/hand drawn slides* and the *left/right arrow* etc? (think there were 2?)

Thanks

Return to Zork, Zork Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor are the three graphical Zork games, and all could fit your description to a degree given they are live-action characters on a computer-generated background. However, given your description of "slides" and "hand-drawn", Return to Zork sounds most like your description. Return to Zork's graphics are more basic and static, while the graphics of Zork Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor are more obviously computer generated 3D and are rotational 360 degrees, not a static image.
