[net.games] Telengard Info Wanted

hxe (04/08/83)

	I recently read  about a game called  "Telengard."  It
seems similar to  Adventure  or Rogue  (it's not made entirely
clear  whether  it is verbal-adventure-like  or  screen-rogue-
like)  but it has a twist:  sometimes the dragons like you and
sometimes they don't, depending on how much charisma you have.
If  they like you  they may kiss you or heal a wound;  if they
don't like you you're zapped.   You choose a set of character-
istics,  including charisma,  strength,  etc.,  at the outset.
Supposedly all this  is written in 900 lines of code!
	I would appreciate any info on the game,  what it runs
on, how to get it, etc.

		Thanks in advance,
