Re: [SWCollect] A game called Whiz Kid

I've heard of it somewhere, but it's possible you may have mentioned it
before.  Any accompanying docs, or just the disk?

 Talking about preserving games... I have an old Apple II diskette with a
 graphic adventure game called Whiz Kid. It's in the style of the early
 Sierra Hi-Res Adventures, with graphics on the top and text on the
 bottom of the screen. The following information is given at bootup:

 Venturwiz (tm)
 Graphic Adventure Series #2
 Softdisk - Rich 'n Famous Series
 Copyright 1984 Gary Bond

 As well, it mentions later on that the author has also written:

 Graphics and Sound Wizard
 The Princess and the Valley of Fire

 Searching the web and the newsgroups doesn't bring up a single match.
 Neither does it show up with anything related to Softdisk. Has anybody
 else heard of this game or know of any other games in the Graphic
 Adventure Series? It actually seems like a decent adventure although
 the parser is not exactly of Infocom caliber.
