It was a game called Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galexy I think. Might have been Zork. I was on mainframes before a PC.

my earliest true pc based memory was playing Magic Pockets (if any remembers this, RESPECT!) but before that, I used to love my COMMODORE 64 with the tape drive, and the sound it used to made when it loaded! I had games like SWIV, Silkworm, and loads of others...
Anyone here ever own a Sinclair QL??
