     Super Quest. Remember a friend's (JLB's) new character named "Mummy
Grabber". JLB was one of the play testers and pretty confident. So, JLB walzes
Mummy Grabber into the maze entry room.  Almost immediately, the 'Roving
Monster' alert starts flashing (kind of a shock-- usually, you get a few
seconds to look around).  In a panic, JLB slams the key to head for the exit
and runs into ... a Mummy! Too many surprises and too long to recover-- poor
Mummy Grabber got grabbed.

     You can find Super Quest info and download links in the GS WorldView
archive. Go to http://206.14.25.120/~cturley/a2zine/index.html and click
"Archive". In the archive, just click on "SuperQuest".
