Yo, anyone got a copy of this font?

I specifically am referring to the bigger words in the odd-looking font they're using for the spell names, i.e. 'Voxam', 'Golgatem', 'Obidil', 'Beburtt', etc. This is from the video game Zork: Grand Inquisitor. I thought it came on the disc but after installing three different versions of the game I never could find an OTF or TTF file that contained it. I know it exists, I used to have on my old PC back when this game first came out... in 1997, over twenty years ago. If you open the file up in font viewer rather than seeing the standard pangram "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" you instead get a zork-ified version with fun nonsense words, so AFAIK it wasn't just a fan made creation; someone at Activision created the font for the game and it somehow got distributed online - and I'd imagine purposely so, since this game had a co-op netplay feature for some reason.

I'm really hoping one of you guys are as nuts about weird fonts and P&C adventure games as I am and still have a copy of it because I can't find anywhere.

EDIT: thanks to feedmyleg in the adventure games thread we found it, and somehow he did it using WhatTheFont which has NEVER worked for me before so either I'm total poo poo or he's some kind of master at this.

Anyway, it's not the exact same file as I got back in the day I don't think, but it IS for sure Skreech Caps. $29 seems a little steep for something I know I got for free in 1997 but whatever. I make good money.
