This is one of the games that was written with the Advanced Authoring System (AAS) released on 1 April 2003. Although the AAS project is nowadays considered to be a "hoax", it included a complete editor and interpreter written in Java, a specification of the file format used for the XML source code, a user manual and a web site. In fact, it is more thoroughly documented than some of the "serious" adventure authoring systems and it was all done in one month!
Note that the file on the IF Archive is corrupted, because lines longer than 80 characters have a hard line feed after every 80th character. To fix this, just delete the excess line feeds in a text editor.
It was subsequently ported to Inform by Adam Biltcliffe under the pseudonym of 'James Walmsey'.
An unofficial port exists for the C64.
