I didn't have the patience back in the day either. I remember one based on 
'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.  I didn't care that much for the 
book and I never got further than a bulldozer driving through Ford 
Prefect's house or something like that.

I think I had a low rent version of Zork on CP/M and never got far in that 
one either.
