What Commodore 64 game is this?

the game was set in the future that had a Avatar of Homer (non-Simpsons)... and you needed to access different parts of the computer grid to find out what happened to the civilization… It was a game in which you needed to find the next chapter of a story in a computer grid… and how did the game/story end?

I dunno. I just typed “Commodore 64 game homer” into Google and that was the second thing that popped up. 1986 and no Atari 8-bit or ST port? I wouldn’t know.

According to that Wiki page, there’s what might be a free eBook available that goes through the whole thing. Read it and find out. Or get yourself a C64 emulator and see if you can find the game somewhere :)

I ordered a copy from my library… I should have it by December 2012… the online e-book is only half the book and the rest is only available to U.S. citizens.
