Title: Did anyone play the BT made game Scoop ?

I've just been watching some of the retro gaming channels and one of the games I watched was called Scoop made by BT for the BBC Micro.

It seems to have been made in 1986 and is a text adventure game. You're a journalist looking for a scoop. It looks interesting.

Telecomsoft was established in 1984 and was bought out by Microprose 1989, though they shut it down in the same year.

I noticed on this website you can play the game without downloading anything: http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=2210 (http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=2210)
