The game I remember is "Wizard's Castle". I don't know where to find
an Applesoft version of it (I originally played it on IBM, actually),
but a port to the Z-machine (a portable VM which will run on damn near
any system) is at
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/games/zcode/wcastle.z5

The source code (in Inform, a language you're likely unfamiliar with) is at
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/games/source/inform/wcastle.inf

Great Zot! You've found the _Runestaff_!
