Does anyone remember this game?

For years I've been trying to remember the name of a game I used to play in the 80s on my school's old Apple Computer. It was an adventure game where you explored a haunted mansion or castle, and you went from room to room finding items that helped you along the way. The screens had simple pictures of the room, with text that told you what you saw. You typed commands like "look at bird" or "get bottle". Some of the things I remember (warning, my memory might be fuzzy): you started outside by a drawbridge, and if you ever "died" in the game, you would wake up back outside here. The first room had a cobweb in the corner, and the text description mentioned it. There was a wine cellar where you had to pick up a bottle for some reason. There was a well where a sea monster or something would jump out and attack you. There was a banquet room where a ghost would get mad at you if you sat in the king's chair. There was a ghost of a jester, and I think there might have been a ghost of a guy with a falcon. I don't know if I'm completely mistaken, but there might have been King Arthur or Merlin or Sir Lancelot or something. Things I'm pretty sure it's NOT: I don't think it's "Dark Castle". That game was more action-platform style, and this was definitely an adventure-style, text-command driven game. It's not the game that's just called "Castle", it's not the game called "Merlin's Castle" which is a Text-adventure game but it's not the same. What it MIGHT be: there was a series of games in the 80s called Microzine, published by Scholastic. Our school had a bunch of these, so it might have been one of those. There's a game called "Haunted House" that could possibly be related, but the internet has practically zero information about Microzine or the games that came with it.

Answer:
That game sounds eerily similar to one that i used to play called "Duke Nukem". I remember wasting hours of my youth indoors while my skin grew pale from playing video games on end in the darkness. My favorite part of that game was the shrink gun, where you could shrink the wizard so that you could step on him and then get drunk off of all the wine and also smoke some cigarettes.
