     Ryan Jackson has rescued Kidnapped and made it available on disk image!

     Here is a brief intro to the game:

     Kidnapped (A2 version by Peter Kirsch and Carl Mueller) was published in
the July 1981 issue of SoftSide. It is a classic Text adventure which starts you
on the ninth floor of a strange office building. The challenge is to make your
way floor by floor and escape the kidnapper who is somewhere below counting his
ransom money.
 
     The SoftSide article calls Kidnapped a "nine in one" adventure because each
floor is a kind of separate adventure laced with puzzles and traps.


     You can find Kidnapped in the GS WorldView preview at ...

The game has also been uploaded to Asimov and ACN Tarnover.


     Thanks, Ryan!
