I saw that link over a year ago(the last post basically said you will never find it) and have been searching ebay to even buy the game if I ever saw it. No luck.
I will start coding it next week. I don't think I will find it unless someone has it in an old floppy collection. Hopefully my memory is good enough.

What programing language will you be planning on to code that game?
Sorry to be late to the party. I'm one of ZURAN's authors. I've only recently gotten into the retro-computing scene, and so I'm trying to "bring up" all of my old machines and go through my old diskettes in search of ZURAN and 3-K Trivia, the two games that I've had published by IBM.
I've not yet located my old 5.25" diskettes, so I don't know if I have any original product disks on hand for ZURAN. There were two versions published: one by ZEE Programming (my family's company) and one by IBM. The PC Magazine article linked earlier in this thread is for the version that we (ZEE Programming) published ourselves. I actually found a copy of it elsewhere on the Internet in the form 86Box playable-demo embedded in a web page, and I was able to extract the game disk .IMG file, which I'll post to WinWorld if I don't find an actual product diskette. If I can find the version published by IBM, I'll post that one, too, as that had some performance updates (in order to support the IBM PCjr) and some minor UI updates.

It was pretty addictive at the time.
