Name the game?

Someone posted this on Digital Press so I thought I would help them out by reposting it here.

Hey all, I've got a puzzler for you.

I remember playing this old text-based adventure game on the TRS-80 model III back when I was a kid, and I'd like to find it again. I think it was called "Wizard" or something, but Google has revealed nothing.

I remember you started out dreaming, and in the dream you're being chased by wolves or something. If you go one way you step on a mine, and if you go another you can climb a tree. No matter what, you die and wake up.

I also remember that one of the spells is "Wilt", that lets you kill plants.

I was really too young to be able to understand how to play, but I still enjoyed playing it. Now that I'm older I'd like to take another stab at it. So any help in finding out what it was called, or where I could find a copy would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I believe you're talking about this: I am not helpful!

Flack, on the off chance you're being serious and not merely mocking this person for their lack of knowledge of 1980s text adventures, it's Infocom's _Sorceror_.

Bruce, I was actually being serious. Text adventure lore is a weak point of mine. Thanks for the info!

One of these days I plan on sitting down playing through a bunch of them.

EDIT: I actually found it online -- I think I'm going to play it today instead!!
