I haven't gotten to AMFV yet, so I'm not sure about whether you actually
go to a Moon Colony in it.
Try the $VERIFY command; it'll compare a hash of the game file to a
checksum in the header, which should tell you with reasonable certainty
whether or not the game file is intact (unless whoever provided it
deliberately messed with the verify command).
If $verify tells you that the file is good, you can also look up the
Release # and Serial # with the VERSION command. You can then verify
that this is an actual release of the game by checking the Infocom
version list at
http://www.speakeasy.org/~russotto/zplet/ivl.html .
For AMFV, you should see one of the following if your version is legit:
Release: 77 Serial: 850814
Release: 79 Serial: 851122
