I still have the Troll Hole Adventure on tape, along with the Interact that I learned programming on (MS basic! and machine code - we didn't have an assembler). As I recall, you don't flick the lighter you "flick bic" as was the marketing slogan at the time. The response would rhyme "flick bic" lead to "lamps lit". Other exciting things were using the paper tube from the bathroom and the lenses from somewhere else to "make telescope" which allowed you to read a distant sign or billboard.... Fun times. Oh right, there's a shovel and if you "dig frog" the response was "I can dig it" because you know... the 1970's...

The "I can dig it" happens if you do DIG on any object other than I think the dirt. Just DIG alone is what tests digging in a room (except it only works in the starting room to find anything). Do you have any good pictures of the tape? There's a Youtube video of someone playing it on hardware so you can see the tape inside of the machine, but no clear pictures of the real tape. (Also, hello, I wrote the post! There's a part 2 where I finish the game, and I'll be doing the other Interact adventure game, Mysterious Mansion, in about a week.)
