Tamurello?
Nah, I'm not Italian...
It's the bad Wizard off Jack Vance's excellent "Lyonesse"-Trilogy.
Virtually *everybody* tells how cool J.R.R. is, but others are WAY underestimated. Read it!
(And read as well Patricia A. McKillip's also excellent "Riddle-Master"-Trilogy.)

Re: Adventure games for the VIC-20?
I remember "Oldorf." It was at least 24K. Also some kind of graphics enhancement was needed. It featured neat Hires-Pics (for the time...) but a *single* word parser, since that Graphic pack won't allow otherwise. Memories are bit hazy on that though. *Oi, got curious myself! http://sleepi...
