Hi, everyone. So I had this one in the late 80's on my Apple IIe. Here's what I remember:
it was a black and white detective game. It took place in Washington, DC. You were trying to find your partner, if I remember correctly. Once you discovered him in the hideout they were keeping him in you had to diffuse a bomb. You had limited resources and every time you tried to diffuse it you would use a match, one would inevitably go out etc.
Then at the end of the game you had to tell who was responsible from all the characters etc.
Does this ring a bell to anyone?
