I've always been impressed by the way that the Quendor - universe
adventures fit together.  What follows is a first attempt at a
cronology.  This is just the order in which I imagine that the
adventures happen:

Zork Zero, Zork/ Enchanter, Zork II, Zork III, Sorcerer, Beyond
Zork/Spellbreaker, Lurking Horror, Planetfall, Stationfall.

It seems like Zork and Enchanter happen at the same time, as do
Sorcerer and Beyond Zork.

For this, I have assumed that, for an adventure to take place in the
Quendor Universe, it is sufficient for it to mention one of the
following: GUE, brass lantern, grue.  Planetfall mentions both a brass
lantern and grues, and Stationfall mentions grues.  Lurking Horror
takes place at GUE Tech (mentioned in Beyond Zork).

Have I missed any?
