I remember playing the game with a bunch of post-graduates.
I was either a post-grad or perhaps an early lecturer in the Uni. That places it square
in the mid-80s. I did spend most of my time researching.
The games would have appeared on tapes from other places?.. I am hunting around amongst
the post-grads to see if any of them can tell me
where it came from.
I knew the game as ?search? in that that is what you typed in to start it. To keep the
undergrads out if it we had to put both passwords and time-locks in
the code?.
Well, how about a phrase that you can recall? I can see if it crops up
in my archives.
