OK the file came from a bunch of old floppys that came with the purchase 
of a
second hand coco system 20+ years ago. I came accross it because I was 
moving
my real floppys to drivewire images. It's sharewware but I cannot find 
the price
turns out the contact address is


                           Data Dimensions Software
                           c/o Floyd Resler
                           2834 Lehman Rd.
                           Cincinnati, OH 45204
                           (513)251-4472


But that may be out of date by now.

I had wanted to try it out because I was wondering  if it was like 
Bolderdash C64 that
a friend of mine had Great Game.
