The same room which is used in both Zork III and Enchanter is a temple area where you get sacrificed if not protected by the ozmoo (or something) spell. Note that Zork Zero should really be at the start of the room. Another game that should perhaps be in the list is Wishbringer, As it contains more than the usual number references to the Zorkian Universe. I really enjoy Infocom, and am still plugging through Beyond Zork and a couple of others. It is a real pity they seem to be gone, and I had real trouble getting there software down here in New Zealand. In then end I got them from Specail Reserve, a mail order company in the UK,it is quite cheap to buy the Atari ST version of the game and copy them using Dos-2Dos to the amiga (the binary data files are portable, only the program file is machine dependant).
