The Fool's Errand review

Computer Gaming World (1988): "While I don't recommend this game to everyone, those who like word games and jigsaw puzzles will find this game as addictive as Rubik's Cube. If you know someone who "doesn't do games on computers," try this one out on them. Give them a taste of what they're missing."

I loved this game but cannot get it to work. It says that it has no executable when I try to import it.
