Once I get the flat one I'll scan that in and add it too.  Quality
Software (started by Stuart Smith) made these games.  Later, Stuart
licensed the game engine he made to build these games to EA as
'Adventure Construction Set'.  He must have sold them the right to these
two games as well, which they put into Age of Adventure.  By this time,
I believe Quality Software was already closed for business (but someone
correct me if Im wrong).
