It's the sort of thing David Ahl likely put in that book, "BASIC Computer 
Games" that was published by DEC.

No apparently not.  It's about the right vintage, 1972, but he wrote it at 
Dartmouth and the timesharing BASIC, and it was published in the People's 
Computer Company newsletter, then later Creative Computing (which was 
David Ahl's magazine, after he left DEC)

Though maybe it was published in "More BASIC Computer Games" which Ahl 
published, in the late seventies.
