Shrink is one of the early Eliza style games that was a very early attempt at artificial intelligence and interacting with human speech. Unlike many others from this early time period which were written in BASIC, this one was written in assembly language, and was ported from an earlier version that Peter Stark's Star-Kits sold for 6800 based machines. I have noticed that this particular one is also a bit more edgy/sarcastic than others I have seen from this time period.
