I just now realized this story I'd been ignoring isn't about the game "Portal" for the Apple II. Activision published a game with that title in '86 about exploring the future internet after the death of all mankind.

Can't find it again now, though, and the only version I still have would be in the source content directory for my old conversion pipeline that fed the Plucker reader on PalmOS. If there's interest, I'll dig that stuff out of cold storage and see if I can get it up and going.
