Perhaps you had a cassette version or something, Nick? (or maybe a stripped down C-16 compatible version?) The disk version of the Questprobe: Hulk game I have, for instance, is a flippy with the C-64 version on the one side and the Plus/4 version on the other. Both versions have graphics. Certainly Scott Adams released a variety of games in text only and text and graphics versions, and often time the same game just with later updates to a new implementation system, meaning most of his original text games saw later release in text and graphics versions (though sadly, with the same lackluster parser).
