Synopsis

Plot

Mrs Fenwick has been kidnapped, and is now hidden in some unknown location. You must sift through the clues you will find, and rescue her!

Notes

This was adventure #5 in the SoftSide Adventure of the Month Club subscription service. It was released in October 1981 and first advertised in SoftSide magazine, issue 22, vol. 5, no. 1, October 1981, p.80.

This setting is based on the author's neighbourhood in Portland, Oregon.

The game was written for the TRS-80 by Neil Bradley at the age of 12. He received some assistance from Steven C. Neighorn who (for various reasons) ended up with the sole credit when the game was printed in SoftSide. In fact, Neil Bradley is not credited in any of the published versions.

This was ported to the PC in compiled BASIC by Steven C. Neighorn and published by U.S. Digital Corp in 1985. It is also credited elsewhere as being published by Agency Automation, as shareware in 1987.
