There were at least five Zork games I can think of that were purely text (graphical ones came later): Zork, Zork II, Zork III, Beyond Zork and Zork Zero.
I had one two and three but don't recall playing the latter two. By then I'd moved on to the greatest game released in the mid-eighties - Autoduel.
Then it was on to the original Bard's Tale.
I played both of those to completion then figured out how to cheat on both by finding character stats with a sector editor.
