	Uh, the question should be, which game SHOULDN'T you play.
	And the answer to that is... Er... well...
	Anyway.  As long as you have started the Zork series, finish it
off with Zork III, then play Enchanter and Sorcerer.  Spellbreaker, the
conclusion to that trilogy, is good, but it's hard, so work on some of the
harder games first (Deadline, Starcross, and Infidel might help), then
play Spellbreaker.  Beyond Zork should follow, and then end up the series
with Zork Zero.  Don't let the title fool you... The game was meant to be
played after you had played the other ones, and you will get the most out
of the game and the series if you play it that way.
