The (an) original escape room game! Choose your own way through the castle, and find the treasure. So big, it covers 2 basic files.

Originally written on an Apple ][ clone 40 years ago (1982? dates/ages are a little hazy) it stands today as one of the all time classics. The code is unchanged (except for replacing the ctrl-D characters with variables) and includes all the original text, including YOU/YOUR dyslexia.

Run it online now!

Or, download the disk image and run it for real.

Hints:

• 12 year old me was pretty belligerent and only afraid of snakes.

• When asked for the answer to a sum, press the digit and wait

• The random number generator in the emulator seems to give consistently unexpected results the first time a simulation is run, so try again.

• If all else fails, read the source code - it seems shorter than I remember it.

Thanks to The apple2js project for the emulator.
