There are many, many versions of this treasure available for download that
will work on XP. I would start with:

http://www.rickadams.org/adventure/

and

http://www.ifarchive.org/

Just a hint, if you use a command-line (dos) version: set the properties so
it does not exit automatically when the program exits. If you do not, when
you win, the program will end, the window will close, and you will never see
the results of your triumph!
