Hi Charles, Ah, that would be Kidnapped. That was a great text game for the Apple II. If I could remember how to play it I could probably whip up a copy in Python. This could turn into a classic case of going down memory lane.
Interesting thing about this is with all the high tech games full of sound, vidio, suppport for game controllers, etc we often forget how fun and entertaining the classic text games were like Oregon Trail, Kidnappped, Dungeon, Goldmine, the Infocom text adventures, that proceeded all the glam of modern vidio games or audio games for that matter. I spent a many happy hours in front of an Apple II-E playing Oregon Trail, Kidnapped, and the rest of the classic text games. Which is partly why I'm using them as demonstration games. Not only will they aid new programmers, but they are fun and exciting text games too.
