Merlin showed up last week with a nasty gash on his toe on the left hind paw. The doc stitched him up but he's a bit miserable.

Adventure

Does anyone remember an adventure game for the TRS-80 that predated the adventure game from the mid-80's that was in real time? You had to eat elven cakes or you would die of starvation. The battles consisted of repeatedly hitting keys and watching text scroll as the hit points were tallied. A great game. My brother gave me a copy on a standard cassette so I never knew the company or who coded it. I'm afraid it's going to be lost to history and only the better-known adventure program will be remembered and referenced. That would be a shame as the one I was playing was far superior.
