I believe there's a game that has an entry at CASA with a Notes section that says something like "All known copies were destroyed when the author's house burnt down" or something like that. But I can't remember the title of the game!
Does anyone know which game I'm talking about?

Trying to identify a game...

TAB is an offline, downloadable, parser-based retro text adventure/interactive creator for Windows XP and above.
It is similar to popular 80's adventure creators like QUILL, PAW, STAC or GAC. http://tab.thinbasic.com/
It was just that the rather unlikely and very unfortunate events (mainly the fire) have stuck in my mind ever since I first read the Synopsis -- which I only did by chance because the game had come up as the Random Game on the homepage, I think. I obviously wasn't expecting to read such a brief but sorry tale! It's good -- in a weird sort of way -- to be able to read it again. Thank you, both.
Oh, and remember to keep regular off-site backups of your data, kids -- or the Curse of Shogoth might get you!
