and also Microsoft Adventure, which is the
regular 'UNIX' adventure
game ('xyzzy' password, etc.) ported to the PC on a bootable
diskette(no DOS required). I knew it first as 'Microsoft Adventure'
due to early exposure to it on dad's PC. People from the UNIX
culture would obviously object to this name.
I don't see why. It's not fundamentally a "Unix game". It originated
on TOPS-10 on a DECsystem-10 (PDP-10 processor).
