I got mine from here: http://www.theoldcomputer.com/roms/download.php?file=Li9UYW5keS1SYWRpby1TaGFjay9UUlMtODAtQ29sb3ItQ29tcHV0ZXItQ29jby9EaXNrLUdhbWVzL0luZm9jb20gQWR2ZW50dXJlcy56aXA=

I checked yours out and discovered that Wishbringer and 
Lurking do not work. Wishbringer starts up ok briefly at first and then becomes unreadable quickly. Eventually it crashes with an internal error 12. Luking just immediately with internal error 6. It looks like someone downloaded all of yours off the Coco Infocom group and then added a few games of their own. Their Wishbringer and Lurking have the same problem. Some of the added games employ an interesting use of the RBDOS disk directory. To load their added games, you load either a basic or a binary program.
