Queen Of The Felines

I used to have a cracked copy version of Crypt of Medea for the Apple II, given to me by a friend of mine. I managed to finish the game...or so I had thought. The last scene required me to drop everything I own, throw a rope towards the ceiling, and use it to swing across a large crevasse. I got the little text animation and then basically got a "You made it, game over" kind of message. Nothing spectacular, and I was proud that I had managed to finish it on my own without any hints or cluebooks.
However, I was messing around with it one day and discovered several commands that seemed to be useless. One of these I remember was "Shoot"...the game even gave a message confirming that I had to have a specfic item in order for me to shoot. (Something about a needle, which didn't exist anywhere.) Also, at one point towards the end there was a key stuck underneath a water-filled tank. I later found out through experimentation that a magnet was supposed to be in the game as well.
Unfortunately the only disk image I could find on the Internet was the exact same cracked version I have at home. :roll: So....has anyone played this game and kept playing beyond the crevasse scene? Can anyone find an original, non-cracked disk image so I can keep playing? I tried to win an original on ebay the other day but got sniped out of it. :(
