    There was a text adventure years ago for the Apple ][ that went under
   the name of "Cyborg." It was written by Michael Berlyn and published
   by - er, Sentient Software, I think. Can't quite remember.

I recall the same name, so either we're right or destined to walk to the
dementia centre together :-)

    Anyway, does anyone know if it was ever ported to the Mac? I remember
   when the Mac came out there were some unlikely ports kicking around,
   like Penguin Software's "Transylvania" game, so I'm just wondering.

Yes, it was available on the Mac. BUT it's very very picky on the system,
I didn't get it to run on my Plus at all on 4 MB. A friend of mine picked
it up real cheap from a sale, I've never seen it in a shop. Hmm, perhaps
I ought to give it another shot now.

    Or a copy of Cyborg for the Apple ][ along with an Apple ][ on which
   to run it would be fine, too...

If anyone happens to have TWO of the aforementioned items, he now knows
where to send them...
