ABOUT THE STORY

  "As this game is ported directly from the TRS-80, it is very uncomfortable to
  play. Your mission is to find a ruby used in a laser projector that has been
  stolen by a spy ring named CHAOS." [--blurb from The Z-Files Catalogue]

  <http://www.syntax2000.co.uk/issues/54/cia.rev.txt>
  > Like most other BASIC games and non-BASIC conversions of them, CIA is almost
  > irritatingly simplistic to play, lacking all details, descriptions,
  > realistic NPCs, etc. that make text adventuring more nail-bitingly realistic
  > today, as seen in more recent homegrown text adventures.
