  Return To Pirates Isle PHM 3189 
Nice.  Scott Adams was my favorite programmer when I was 13.  I had
"Adventureland" and "Pirate's Island" in BASIC for the PET -
still
have the original tape.  It gave me a life-long love for Interactive
Fiction. 
Humm... I have a bunch of his text adventures for the Apple II. Something 
like 13 of them. I played them all, and won many. Spent many a rainy day 
sitting playing them. I was always impressed with how good and unique 
they each seemed to be.

They even encouraged me to try writing my own text adventure (never 
finished it), and I suspect at some level, they are responsible for me 
getting into writing fiction myself (IIRC, my first play was an 
adaptation of one of his games)
