I never had the game but I remember the title. I owned a couple of
Infocom games back in the eighties. I played them on a Commodore-64.

That page will take a month to load, but when it is done, I think you
will be pleasantly surprised - nostalgically speaking. However, you
will not be able to download Infocom games here. They are still under
"copywraps." Use this site as a spring board to do your detective work.
