But       WOW (Wizard Of Wor) came to my mind when reading your description. Is an       arcade game otherwise, and the C64 game was a port.              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_of_Wor       --       Andreas              I use a Unix based operating system, which means I get laid almost as often       as I have to reboot my computer.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3)    |
