Gameplay
Reception
Computer Gaming World reviewed the game and stated that "A perfect score is 500 and your score is displayed as a ratio of this 500. The less moves it takes you to complete the quest the higher the score. This adds much to the game's potential life span."{{cite magazine |title=Micro-Reviews |magazine=Computer Gaming World |date=May–Jun 1983 |volume=1 |issue=10 |pages=41, 44}}
