It did exist.  I think one full game was done back then.

It was just a list of human instructions, but at least that much existed.

All I can find on the web is an abreviated version.  I see a powerpoint version
and an "apendix"

http://home.hetnet.nl/~ext/Study/Appendix.htm

that list the same description.

But I don't think that's the full description because a few references I've seen
in here talked about the description being two pages in some book.
