It is a very nice game.  After some deliberation I decided that it
narrowly makes it within the confines of garbo policy on games, even
if I think that the emphasis is rather heavily on the game side.  It
can serve as one good example of this category of games of wit.  The
description I use for it in our file list will be

c2.zip Cyberbox II, A puzzle-type hunt of gems in a maze

   All the best, Timo
