There was an early graphic text adventure of Amber. (I mean, a text 
adventure with lots of full-scrreen illustrations -- or, if you want to
look at it that way, a graphical adventure with a parser for input. :-)

I looked at it very briefly on my Apple II, which tells you how old it 
was. It didn't look very good. I doubt you'll find it anywhere, except 
maybe an FTP archive of pirated Apple II disk images.

There is a new graphical adventure called "Amber" which has nothing to do 
with Zelazny.
