It's fairly small, I'll e-mail it to you now (in another ten years
the disk it's on might not be readable!). :)

It's an individual's work, someone named Martin Hill wrote
it back in the late 80's. Definitely not finished, there's only 5
rooms you can explore and the guards won't harm or take
notice of you.
Looking at it again, I can see it's a remake of Beyond Castle
Wolfenstein, just in Super-Hi-Res and digitized stereo sound
effects (still the same 2D view as the original). Probably would
have been released as shareware had he finished it.
