        Ah, I didn't know QBasic ≠ QuickBasic. I think GW Basic was what I used on the IBM/DOS platform. (nt) - T.J. Swoboda 2010-05-07

    - Lol. A little crazy dwarf throws an axe at you. And Hits. Well, looks like you've done it again. Surprise - You're Dead! - Virtual Scott 2010-05-05
      - I ripped that one off too. I had magic words and a gnome you had to fight. 13 YOs don't know about plaigiarism! :) nt - nvandyk 2010-05-05
        
        And it doesn't even matter - it's all about the game play and raising the horns while playing the game! np - Virtual Scott 2010-05-07
  - (Googles) Your game still has something of a following. How did I miss this title back in the day? (nt) - T.J. Swoboda 2010-05-07
  - Eamon? If so, make that 2 of us. (np) - MacDeath 2010-05-05
    - "Valley of the Minotaur." Playable on Apple II and Commodore PET. -nt- - nvandyk 2010-05-05
      - Wikipedia FTW... - boB 2010-05-05
        
        Holy crap! I had no idea, Nick. I never wrote anything remotely publishable in my day. (nt) - T.J. Swoboda 2010-05-07
        
        note in the page history that one of the revisions was to remove the word 'The' from title. :) (np) - Mark 2010-05-06
        
        Holy crap didn't see that they actually correctly credited me as the game's designer, too! Pretty cool! nt - nvandyk 2010-05-06
        
        If Disney ever goes under, that's one more resume item! :) n/p - boB 2010-05-06

        In Mitch's defense... - boB 2010-05-05
