While google searching Dorothy Laker (needless, not much about this private person), I stumbled upon an archive for Atari books.
One link was for a basic programming book circia 1986. One of the sections was Basic Computer Adventures. (http://www.atariarchives.org/bca/)
Wanna explore like Marco Polo? Go to Neptune? Code up a program!
OR..wanna do the Appalachian Trail (http://www.atariarchives.org/bca/Chapter07_AppalachianTrail.php)? :)
Looks to be a bit like a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure) type book in computer program form.
Packs to take for example:
"Kelty Mountaineer external - frame with Seneca pack",
"Jansport D2 external - frame pack", 99, 169, 5520
"Camp Trails Grey Wolf internal - frame pack, large",
"Coleman Peak 1 model 680 internal - frame pack", 58, 115, 4013
It even has a body weight to pack weight ratio variable.
OK..a bit geeky..but kinda cool in an archaic way.
Now, I gotta go found a copy of MS Basic on the Innertubes... :)
