There was a game similar to this published in "Computer and Video Games"
back around 1981, called "Round the Horn". I've still got the issue of the
magazine and I was thinking of writing a wimp version (which I wouldn't
have thought would be too complicated because the whole program is only
about 4 pages of magazine listing) - but I never got around to it.
It might be a starting point for your game though?
