Anyone remembers this game?, itīs for Atari XE/XL and itīs very very simple but awesome and of course, very fun (in my opinion, of course). The problem is that i couldnīt find enough information about this game around the web, for example, a snap from the original cart/disk, some reviews, nothing!, nothing except...

So, do you have any extra information about this game?.
Thanks in advance

Oh man - this is so cool - I wrote this game almost 20 years ago! I patterned it after "Spy's Demise". Not much in the way of fancy graphics - it had to be small enough to make it practical to type it in from a magazine. Thanks, folks, for making this stuff available - a real trip down memory lane. :)
along with his email address (mailto:fcaprilli@rogers.com) if you wanted to shoot him some fan mail :)
Looks like there's no original cart/disk since it was a magazine release. Good luck finding scans of the original pages (that's about the best you're going to get as for as original stuff goes) :)
edit - oh hey, source code (http://www.langesite.com/atari/Holmes/Holmes%202/Sources/Games/Elevator/ELEVREP.TA)
