(with neutrality rather than anecdotes)

This game is one that is one that many seem to remember, but often in dribs and drabs. It may also be known as "The L game", and personally I only found it that way. The keywords "mathemagical adventure" helped significantly. There is currently an article describing another "L game" (which is a nasty keyphrase to search with!), and perhaps a small "see also" or "similarly named" would be helpful on that page.

Play this game in your browser using a BBC Micro emulator!

A black screen with text at the top reads: ‘Copyright (C) The association of Teachers of Mathematics, May 1984. Do you want information (y/n)?’. This is the start of the game. It is a text adventure game, which was on the BBC Micros stationed in the IT room at secondary school in the 1980’s. I remembered it and found the article for it on Wikipedia.

I have found a direct link to a game details page, which would be useful to add to the external links, which has a play game button: http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=2147

I hope this is of help to complete the article, for readers who want to not only read about what it was but to also play it. Thank you, Wikipedia. I have edited this down from yesterday with a better link, and to make it more concise.
