      I actually bought that game ($11.99 at Egghead Software).  However,
      the last thing you need is that game on CD-ROM.  The game (plot, etc.) is
      not bad, but it only takes about 1.4-1.5Meg of CD-ROM space, and
      graphics, well, are not what you would expect from CD-ROM game
      (EGA only? I don't think it even supports standard VGA).  The same
      disk also includes demo (playable) of "Lexigraph" (?) - sorta like
      Wheel Of Fortune from the future.  Overall, pretty bad, but probably
      worth 12 bucks.
