> Hey, I remember "Artoo Detoo was here" from GEnie!

WOW. You just made my day (actually year, but I'm embarrassed to say so), thank you!

I patched copies in 4 different places. So someone DID eventually adapt one of those versions I patched into a 'door' game on GEnie. It feels kind of odd, because I have been watching caving and surface rock art videos lately where modern explorers are quick to brand things as 'vandalism', even if they do not obscure the other, and even inscriptions from 1888. It makes me wonder, what year exactly did 'vandalism' begin?

So in Colossal Cave, was my "Artoo Detoo was here" rock art, or vandalism?
