He wasn't the only one. Remember Automata and Pimania? You could win a sundial
valued 6000 pound sterling (I'm lacking a proper pound sign :( ), if I remember
correctly. And there was another (british) adventure with a prize, whose
name escapes me, in the early 1980's.
Actually Pimania was my first piece of ''IF'' and indeed software I bought.
It was truly wierd - until today I don't understand what's supposed to be
going on, but it was fun - and it got a soundtrack (of sorts) on the backside
of the cassette.
Oops, by now this posting would properly belong into r.games.i-f (hope,
nobody does notice...).
