I had that game, but I had the "updated" one that had pictures to go with the text game.
Cutting edge

I had this, my older brother would take it from me all the time
it must have got lost in a move, I have not seen it in decades

tricky game, needed both hands that could work in tandem

I started on the 16k rubber keyboard Sinclair Spectrum. Then upgraded to 48k, and then upgraded to the plastic key keyboard. I then bought a Sinclair QL.

I had a C64, then went to PC, it had a huge 80MB hard drive.

.

My first computer was a PCjr, as my dad worked for IBM.

No hard drive, everything worked off either a 5.25 floppy or a tape deck (and the tape decks had to be inserted into the rear of the computer)

at least the monitor was color, all 8 of them.
