It wasn't written in BASIC, it was written in Machine Language. Also, because of memory size, the game was loaded in 2 halves, downstairs and upstairs data.

So I keep forgetting one of those computers came with only 4KB of RAM which made it insensible to provide it in BASIC! The program code must have taken more memory than the data needed by the game. Quite a lot of code must have been needed to load one module or the other. What a shame it had to erase itself if the player failed in his/her mission.

Donald thank you for answering me.
