Humm... I have a bunch of his text adventures for the Apple II. Something
like 13 of them. I played them all, and won many. Spent many a rainy day
sitting playing them. I was always impressed with how good and unique
they each seemed to be.
They even encouraged me to try writing my own text adventure (never
finished it), and I suspect at some level, they are responsible for me
getting into writing fiction myself (IIRC, my first play was an
adaptation of one of his games)
