It is a few years old (perhaps as long ago as 1984, I don't know). We got it from someone else 2 years ago. Here are the authors names, from the end of one of the documents from that version: This game was written by Chris Guthrie and Nick Lai, and the SUN graphics done by John Coker; all of University of California, Berkeley. chris@BERKELEY [...!ucbvax!chris], lai@BERKELEY [...!ucbvax!lai], jcoker@BERKELEY [...!ucbvax!jcoker].
