This has been on my "end-it-finally" list for ages. It is an MS-DOS shareware game, written by Stephen J. Konig. It saves as a TADS file, but I'm not sure you really need a TADS interpreter to run it.
SAVE/LOAD features are available in the game.
It is available from
//baf.wurb.com/if/game/424
I'm quite a ways in it. At the present time I am facing a cyclops.
Help would be nice to have.

Hi, I have a problem with this game so I cannot progress any further:
It seems that I have only 1 match in the box of matches and the torch is blown out after several moves! Do I have to find another lightsource?
Bye

It's been so long that I don't know if I can help with the torch. My scribbled notes say that I strike the match west of where I find the bible. I will try to re-write my notes and organize things somewhat.

I'm not sure why you only have one match. I was able to light the torch at least twice.
Try OPEN MATCHES, STRIKE MATCH, LIGHT TORCH as see if that gets you further.
I have reorganized my notes. There appear to be lots of places and people that I don't know wht to do with. I am still at the cyclops. From our experiences with Odyssey, one should be able to poke him in the eye, but I have no tool with which to do that since I used the dagger.

Ok,the problem was incompatibility with the Dos-box emulator I used. I had a similar problem before with an AGT-adventure. With the XP Dos-prompt I seem to have more matches to use.
btw:I´m in the maze at this moment and look how far I can do it.
Damned,starting a fresh game the same problem occurs. Have to think about it

Actually the problem with the matches is not the DOS emulator, but the fact that the game was saved before lighting a match for the first time.
