I have been looking for this game for a long time. It is a text-adventure game that's kind of like Zork, only that it uses real time (i.e. you'll get killed during combat if you just stand there and do nothing). Also it has a 2-player option, so that the screen splits in two halfs (left and right), and both playercan play at the same time and help each other. Player can chose some standard equipments before the start (e.g. chain-mail or plate-mail..., sword or axe..., potions, scrolls...). And players start out as wizards. The objective, I think, is to gather treasures and also kill the evil sorcerrer- Zyll. This is really a fun game for all those features (esp. two-player mode), and the last time I played it was around 1984. I don't know which company makesit. Just wondering if I could ever play this game again... Thanks for any info. -- Kevin Au, kev...@acsu.buffalo.edu (716)836-8376
