- This program is the most blatant attempt I ever saw of copying the 'original
- adventure' aka 'colossal cave'. It starts outside a piramid, true, but
- once inside you'll find that with a slight renaming it all fits TOA.
- Shame of whoever made this. Trying to earn money with a PD adventure.

- I must admit, neither have I. TOA was described as needing several person-weeks
- to solve, so I'ld expect Piramid to be a lot of work.

- Model 4 screen mode requires model 4 software to use it. You cannot
- just switch over. Quite a few of the later products were able to recognize
- the M4 and would make the switch, but the BASIC ROMs aren't capable of
- dealing with it.
