Causes of ChaosType: Text only Written by Mike Taylor in Compiled Basic.Runs on: Comments: "I believe it was the first multi-player adventure for the
Commodore 64, though this had to be achieved by the players taking
turns. In all honesty, I doubt anyone really played it like that,
but it was a good single-player adventure anyway."

viewpoint, from creation till death.
