About the Story

You have wandered into the Toyland factory which uses Model 1 type androids to do the design and manufacturing. As you may recall, the Model 1 is very helpful, but has some memory problems. Luckily, if you help them find the word they're trying to think of, they can usually think of a good suggestion for you to try.

Because the Model 2 is cheaper and lacks these problems, Model 1s are junked as soon as they show signs of wear. This is too bad, because an android would be a big help to you in your adventures. Perhaps you can find one to rescue. I've heard that the android named Andrea is nice.

This game was written by John H Doolittle in Turbo BASIC for PCs circa 1990 and used in his 'Scientific Thinking in Psychology' classes when he was a professor of psychology at California State University, Sacramento.

It was intended for a commercial release in 1992, but this didn't happen.

The author continued to update the game until 1996 and released the Turbo BASIC source code in 2023.
