80s Game Stream: Murder on the Zinderneuf

More diving into the proc gen folder, as I play this clever if slightly tedious attempt to procedurally generate mysterious murders aboard a 1930s zeppelin. If you don't watch this, maybe just scan through until it's paused on some of the manual pages, they're pretty great.

Researching procedural mystery games today and every other link I click is by a game center faculty member ;p

Did you find any other examples of procedural mystery games, especially for 8bit machines (or board games, outside of Clue model)?
I just stumbled upon the Murder on the Zinderneuf today and I am really enjoying it (even if the joystick feels really sluggish) and would love to find more games like that (maybe even trying my hand at writing one). It's a shame that this game is largely forgotten, because it's a pretty neat blueprint for some simple procedural mystery games.
