The Apogee FAQ says Valley of Kroz is an alternate title given to Temple of Kroz. And the rest of the Internet copied that statement. But nobody has proof or a copy of Valley of Kroz that confirms that statement.
I think Valley of Kroz is not another name for Temple of Kroz, because both names are used in the same document: Code:
KINGDOM OF KROZ ------------------------------------------ Copyright 1989 Apogee Software Productions Last year, Kingdom of Kroz won a national programming contest as "Best Game." It's a combination of arcade action, strategy, and adventure. As the intrepid explorer, you will venture through 25 unique levels (screens) of treasures and perils. Each level is patrolled by as many as 1000 creatures out for your blood! To run the program, enter KINGDOM at the DOS prompt. Hazards include lava, earthquakes, pits, rushing rivers and forbidden forests. Helpful items to collect are whips, gems, scrolls, keys and artifacts. Whips, your primary weapon, are used to break through certain walls and to protect you from attacking monsters. Each level is a series of chambers with puzzles and pitfalls to overcome. There are three skill levels to choose from, plus a save/restore feature and a 15-player high score chart. If you like Kingdom of Kroz, there are two additional Kroz games that can be ordered directly from the author for $15 (Temple of Kroz and Valley of Kroz). Combined, they have 70 more levels. Trivia note: Kroz is Zork (by Infocom) spelled backward. Good luck and have fun, Scott Miller 4206 Mayflower Dr. Garland, TX 75043 |

Re: Valley of Kroz is not Temple of Kroz
Here's the nag screen of Kingdom of Kroz version 1.5, 1.6, 1.8 and 1.9. Notice that Caverns of Kroz and Dungeons of Kroz are called sequels to Kingdom of Kroz, but Temple of Kroz and Valley of Kroz are just called two other Kroz games.

Re: Valley of Kroz is not Temple of Kroz
Interesting, I always assumed that info had come from Scott Miller himself. You always dig up the most obscure stuff, Frenkel! I wonder if we'll ever be able to find the answer, though as it says in the freeware release:
