I've just added your new screenshots for the Lighthouse Adventure

I wasn't sure if the Lowe/Zimmerman version was identical to the one that ADAMagic put on their disk.

The Lowe/Zimmerman version was off a Northern Illiana ADAM Users (N.I.A.D.) public domain disk. I only submitted the first of the title screens, but the bottom line changes over 5 screens as follows:
by Chris Wilkinson
revised for ADAM(tm)
by N.J.Lowe
embellished by
Bob Zimmerman

I suspect that there's an N.J. Lowe version out there somewhere, but I haven't stumbled across it yet. It's probably on one of the many public domain disks.

I just realised that the ADAMagic game has the same title screen, but without the clouds and in different colours. The ADAMagic instructions screen also mentions a HELP command, so I reckon this is the last in the evolution of this game on the ADAM.
