The Guardians of the Tradition (US) "Sidequest"
Sidequest is a classic cyberpsychedelic Text Adventure in which you (William Crowther) crawl through a generative, cut-up and recombined twisty little maze of passages through timespace that criss-crosses networks such as Mammoth Cave, ARPANET, SAIL (the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory) and The Hollow Earth.
