Re: Steve W. Lucas games
(Just randomly checking references to Steve's games, I found another example of him recycling his game code.
This time it was another version of his rip-off of Frankenstein Adventure, The Monster Returns in Your Commodore for the Plus 4

Re: Recovered Adventures
Regarding Mad Monk, the instructions indicate that it was published by Merlin (Micro Systems Ltd). I'm not sure what that means. Were you able to confirm the author as A Knight, or was that just conjecture?
