Lost Dutchman, Version 2.11 rev 1997, 2002

In this Text Adventure your goal is to find the fabled "Lost
Dutchman" mine and collect treasures. According to an in-program
blurb, it is a "Rider Fantasy Creations" game. A REM says it was
"contributed by Jerry Ficke".
Version 2 includes new patches. Mainly, these fix a bug in
scoring, eliminate dependency upon saving games to a specific
folder, and supply an escape for a maze trap in the mine.
The program runs under ProDOS or DOS 3.3 on any 64k Apple II.
It launches fine from the GS/OS Finder, as well.
The only change from v2.1 to v2.11 is that, when restoring a
saved game, typing in "CAT" always does a CATALOG.
Lost Dutchman is a fun-to-play example of what can be achieved
with BASIC on a small-memory machine. The .SHK file includes the
program (LOST.DUTCHMN211) and an information file (LD2INFO.TXT).
The info file supplies tips for mapping and play as well as a game
"map" and vocabulary listing.
