Just a short one here as this is very much a curio. Created by Michael Cranford, this is the precursor to a MUCH better game in the same genre, The Bards Tale. Think of this as the same proof of concept as Richard Garriotts Akalabeth which became the Ultima games. The bones are here but the coding is primitive, the graphics are blocky with a wire frame maze. One thing is for certain, the pad of graph paper from WH Smiths would be an essential tool for beating this game.
