The version I played was Apple 2, but I believe it was also available on Commodore and a few other systems.

I played the shit out of the demo game (there was a really fun Revolutionary War part of it), and played with making my own sci-fi campaign. I also tried Rivers of Light, which I sucked at, and the Return of Hercules, which I also sucked at.

Damn, I underestimated your generation!
Yeah, Mad-libs are classic, beyond age & technology, right?

Oh, check this out-- I remembered yet another classic Stuart Smith adventure just now. It was called "Return of Heracles," set in Ancient Greece. IMO that, Rivers of Light and Ali-Baba were great because they were not just fun little rogue-like RPG's, but because they were also purely fascinating, containing loads of little historical facts. <3
