Re: Infocom's Quarterstaff: Tomb of Setmoth Question

["Sauer" <GSauer@mycolumbus.rr.com>]

I found the Questbuster's review. It mentions a planned conversion to the GS and IBM, 
obviously it never was converted. It cost $49.95, you had to pay $20.00 for an 
upgrade and $10.00 for the color graphics disk if you had a Mac II. It required 1 MB 
of memory (at least). The review was in the February, 1989 issue.
