Identifying a game

Archived from groups: rec.games.int-fiction (More info?)

Hello, Fellow Adventurers !

I can't remember the name or find a game on the IF archive:

Someone whose identifies it from my brief description of what I remember of
the game can point me to the exact name? ISTR that is a zcode, and finding
it through the 321 z-code files is more difficult than the two mulldoon

The IF was released around 2003 and have an initial plot around this lines:

In the middle ages, a young peasant boy escaped the destruction of his
family and his village then:

Became a warrior, snatch the slayer of his family at a siege, but somewhat a
freak magic accident render both immortal and the story continues ISTR in
the 20th Century.

What IF is ? ISTR that is zcode, but I don't remember his name....

OK is this !!!

Thank You !!!

Besides, I get why I don't found it in the Master-Index: the idx don't have
the single game directoty, only the top directory of the varuous ifcomp
directory.....

Merry Christmas,

Yes, I know, but firstly, I have so hazy reminescences of the game and so I
don't have a clue about what category I need to search and secondly, now
baf's guide don't have DL'ing because of the closing of the main (and
faster) mirror.

Now I'm playing.... actually replaying until i reach the point when I
stopped, and I now remember why: I was attemping to judge IFComp, and I
agree with those whose say that the large number of games reduce the nimber
of judges.

merry Christmas from italy,
