the 1986 edition, and the version that appeared on Side A of
MicroHobby issue 188: Tape 7.
The version of Henry's Hoard on the above site is a very minor
(AFAICT) variant of the MicroHobby version - I know because I used
POKE 33824,43 to visit Room 43 and it's called "HOOVER'S HOLLOW".
POKE 33824,n is a useful runtime POKE for JSW-based games - including
Henry's Hoard, for which WRITETYPER doesn't work - that teleports you
to Room n after you lose a life.
In my alpha-copy of my List of MM/JSW Games, I've added the following
entry to the Other Titbits section, based on the above link:
* At Retrospec TRDos ReCracks are 128K minor variants of Manic Miner,
Manic Miner Mythologies: Eugene - Lord of the Bathroom (listed
as "Eugene") and Maria vs Some Bastards, with their own intros
featuring AY music. The Manic Miner variant is particularly
interesting, as it features information in Russian and a cheat-menu.
There's also a minor variant of the MicroHobby version of Henry's
Hoard.
The other three are in Others because they require 128K but are not
JSW128/64 games.
