Really? That's pretty cool. That's novel: a play being inspired by a
computer game :) What was it about?
I wrote at least a couple adventure games. They were fun, and pretty easy
once you got the hang of it. One was a demo running under CP/M for a
California Computer Systems S-100 machine that I got for free in 1989. A
bunch of them were liberated from a girl's school northeast of Sacramento
by a teacher there. He gave them away in a computer interfacing class I
was taking at a local community college. Me being the teenage geek
hacker, I wrote a simple adventure game and passed it out (on 8" disk no
less) to the others that got one of the machines.
