The graphics make use of programmable character sets - so the creatures are built up of a matrix of characters (maybe 2x4 or 3x6 - I'm not sure now). The screen is 40 columns, and in color. Trees are built up of simple squares (no special rounding anywhere).
Hmm, interesting. Is it playable(ish) like that?
Yes, definitely. At one point, I got surrounded by good guys - all busily spouting advice at me (and fighting baddies for me too). Everybody's recognizable as who they are: creatures, weapons, etc.

Anyway, thanks for trying it out and posting - wish I still had my Apple III :(
You bet - thanks for pointing it out! And as for your Apple ///... time to hit eBay. ;)
