Ringquest was my entry into the 2nd Rainbow magazine Adventure games contest (1984), and managed to place high enough to get into that contest's book. It is a D&D style text adventure game written in Extended BASIC, with graphical representations of the rooms, objects and monsters. I really should rewrite this some day. I have included my original "manual" that I sent to Rainbow; their book version had completely different documentation than I had submitted. I should note that the game is somewhat randomized, and not always be possible to win, but if you figure out the correct room order to go in (weaker monsters first), it becomes easier.
