A very short entry for now, for a simple text adventure game that has been recovered by GTW64 regular Csaba Virag and which doesn’t seem to be in Gamebase or elsewhere just yet.
It is a German language text adventure, which may or may not have been released. We know little apart from that it was by “Sargmacher Soft”. Do you know anything more about them and if this was a commercial release?
Professor Chaos has confirmed that the game was created in 1988, and there isn’t a huge amount to it. Under additional info, we’ve added unnecessary commands and walkthrough provided with thanks to Professor Chaos.
For now, check it out for yourself and good to see another game preserved.

Update history
21/07/21 – Updated year and some details added thanks to Professor Chaos.
Lines 12-13 of the BASIC program say “1988” and put a space between “SARGMACHER” and “SOFT”. “Sargmacher” is German for “coffinmaker”. In theory it could be a surname, too, but in practice, as far as I can google, it’s not.
The game itself is very simple written and… to the point. No fancy room descriptions. Quite a few typos on the title screen already.
AND NOW SPOILER ALERT!

Thanks Professor Chaos! Have updated the page and added your spoiler notes to the “Articles” tab. Looks like it was a work in progess overall and likely homebrew?
