I'm not sure if anyone remembers this old game. It's a shareware title for Win16, entitled "Bow & Arrow - In Search of the GREATEST Archer". It was by a fellow called John Di Troia, and was released in 1992.

I first played it on a compilation disc that was bundled with the first x86 box that my family got, which contained tons of known-Windows 95-compatible Win16 shareware and freeware.
The problem I'm having is, I've never been able to find out how to order it in the internet age - it seems that the author is unreachable this way (in fact, the only search results I've been able to bring up are all simply references to the shareware version of Bow & Arrow's readme file), and in the past I seem to recall seeing others who've previously played it raising doubts that the full version ever existed at all. Regardless, if it's possible, I'd love to be able to find the purchasing info for this game! Does anyone know ANYTHING about it, please?
