"Valley of the Minotaur"



Does anyone have any idea where I might acquire a disk image of the
1983 Apple ][-series text adventure (preferably in format .DSK) known
as "The Valley of the Minotaur?"  I know that's probably a very tall
order, but I was always intrigued by this Zork rip-off back in the
1980s, and I would love to play it again sometime.  I managed to solve
it just once, and I think that was due at least partially to a bug in
the game (although I'm not sure - it was kind of a weird game, and may
not have been buggy at all), but would love to try to do so again.

It definitely didn't have an Infocom-quality parser, but I do think
it
may have been more sophisticated than a standard verb-noun parser (its
been a long time).  It was definitely much more descriptive and
complex than a Scott Adams game, with an unusally large world filled
with a tribe of cannibalistic headhunters, travel by boat to the
various shores of a huge lake  and...uh...a lot of other cool stuff
(my memory fails me).  You had to collect numerous treasures and
deposit them in a telephone booth, as well as slay the evil Minotaur,
in order to complete the game.  It also contained a Zork I-style giant
bat, that would pick you up and deposit you in various locations, once
night fell (there may have been a way to avoid this; I never solved
all the puzzles of this game, although I once managed to slay the
Minotaur and win the game with a less than optimum score).

I originally purchased it for $24.95 (don't ask how I still remember
the price; I just do) at a computer store in Cupertino, California,
back in January of 1984 (the same day I bought my Franklin Ace 1000).
It came on a 5.25" floppy drive (naturally), and was published by
Softalk magazine.  I believe the author won a contest sponsored by
Softalk, and his award was to have his game commercially published, if
I'm not mistaken.

Hell, I'd be almost happy if I could even find someone who remembered
this game, let alone actually has it!

Thank you very much in advance.
