Description
A text adventure for the Commodore 64 that Wanjiru Farah wrote alone and released as shareware in 1990.
Provenance
Deposited by Red River Arcade Preservation Society, which had held it unread for years. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Independent reads agree bit for bit.
