Ok, my first alternate reality fantasy game was somewhat popular depending upon who you hung around with in 1985. The Games name was Alternate Reality by a guy named Philip Price, who created a small company named Paradise Programming, and the game was picked up by distributor Datasoft.
My computer of choice back in those days was an Atari 800XL with dual 5 1/2" 512k or 360k floppy's / LOL / I can't remember that far back, I do recall using a paper hole puncher on one corner of the floppy's outer casing in order to make the opposite side of the disk R / W capable. / Haa-Haaa :_)
This game was about as open ended as technologically possible at the time. Hell we had a whopping 64K of memory, or 48K depending on who you talked to at that time to toy around with. WOW !! :_))
Who know's ancient technology is a lost art ! Everyone is into Finger Flipping Phones. ( FFP'S ) I-Phones ~ Androids and such these days.
I just think this would be a Very Kool re-issue on a more modern platform.

This game was so much fun, I played it more often than the original Zelda
