Round the Horn

Round the Horn (stylized with a leading apostrophe as ‘Round the Horn) is a 1979 video game written by Reverend George Blank and published by The Software Exchange for the TRS-80. Written in BASIC, it was originally a type-in program—and the cover feature—in the January 1979 issue of SoftSide.
