I finished Nemesis in about 5 days or so.  Record time for me on a Zork game.
I would place it at about as difficult as Zork 3, actually.  (which, imho, was
the toughest of the games - then again, i played 1,2,3 back-to-back, when i 
was about 10 - my how times change)  The graphics are beautiful.  The sound
is amazing.  The plot twists had me and my roommates arguing over what
was going on for hours.  (only to find out that all of us were completely wrong
at the end)  They did set themselves up well for a sequel to this one, though.
