Thus spake JMcGoveran (jmcgoveran@aol.com):
] Greetings,

] Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Yup.

] The game is a text adventure called Battlestar. I found it years ago on a
] UNIX system. I played it until I got stuck and then forgot about it. It
] is apparently written in C. Upon invocation the following message
] appears:

] Version 4.2, fall 1984.
] First Adventure game written by His Lordship, the honorable
] Admiral D.W. Riggle

] Does anyone know:

] 1) If there is a version for MS-DOS?

There isn't, but the source code is available.

] 2) Are there any hints available?
] 3) Is there a more recent version?
] 4) Where can I get them?
