Found the following at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/adventure/Various_companies.html; I've been
wondering what this game was called for a long time. Does anyone here
remember if this was its correct name? Any additional info?
"The Dark Tower
Type: Graphics Written 1984 or before.
Runs on: Apple II
Comments: Text/crude graphics adventure (cruder than Mystery House) and in
black and white. The idea was to enter a castle and work your way upstairs
to the tower. There were tons of rooms like The Jester's Room (where a
jester asks you what you say to a two headed dragon, and if you didn't type
"Hello, hello" in the most parser-perfect syntax, he throws you out the
window), the Ivy Room (where ivy tries to strangle you), and a room where
you find a monster taking a bath!
It was probably produced by a company that was affiliated with Microsoft
(Microzone or Softzone maybe, or even Scholastic)."
