Arctic Adventure By Harry McCracken For Tandy TRS-80 Solution by Garry Francis ---------------------------------------- This is a minimal solution. Directions must be given in full, e.g. GO NORTH instead of N. Use LOOK to examine things. Type HELP for some helpful advice, then follow the advice to get further help. NOTE: The game won't run as printed in 'The Captain 80 book of BASIC adventures due to a few bugs. In particular, add a "0" at the start of the second string in line 1240 so that it reads "001...", rather than "01...". If you have problems with the input and flashing cursor routine (as I did), change the following lines: 170 PRINT "YOUR COMMAND-->";CHR$(176); : I$ = "" : GOSUB 210 210 A$ = INKEY$ : IF A$ = "" THEN 210 220 IF ASC(A$) < 32 AND ASC(A$) <> 8 AND ASC(A$) <> 13 THEN 210 230 IF A$ = CHR$(8) THEN IF POS(0) > 16 THEN PRINT CHR$(8); CHR$(8); CHR$(176); : I$ = LEFT$(I$, LEN(I$) - 1) : GOTO 210 ELSE 210 240 IF A$ = CHR$(13) THEN PRINT CHR$(8); : GOTO 270 250 IF POS(0) < 30 THEN PRINT CHR$(8); A$; CHR$(176); : I$ = I$ + A$ : GOTO 210 260 GOTO 210 270 GOSUB 1050 : IF I$ = "" PRINT "WHAT?"; : GOSUB 1050 : GOTO 150 275 I$ = I$ + " " LOOK COAT (you find some rations) GET RATIONS GET COAT WEAR COAT GET SHOVEL GO OUT DIG (you find a large chest) DROP SHOVEL LOOK CHEST (you find a diving suit and a radio) GET SUIT WEAR SUIT LOOK IGLOO (an ice brick came loose) GET BRICK GO WEST GO FLOE GO WEST GO WEST GO HOME MELT BRICK (you find a key) GET KEY GO OUT GO EAST GO FLOE GO WEST GO EAST GO SOUTH GO CAVE GO NORTH (there's a polar bear here) DROP RATIONS (bear gobbles it up and walks off, you can now get the flare) GET FLARE GO DOWN GO DOWN UNLOCK DOOR (with key) DROP KEY GO DOWN GET MEDALLION GO SOUTH (you float to surface, so we'll come back later) GO EAST GO FLOE GO WEST GO WEST GO TRADING (LOOK SIGN) (we trade treasures for supplies) DROP MEDALLION (eskimo trades it for harpoon gun) GET HARPOON GO OUT GO EAST GO FLOE GO WEST GO EAST SHOOT FLARE DROP FLARE (plane drops weighted boots) GET BOOTS WEAR BOOTS GO SOUTH GO CAVE GO NORTH GO DOWN GO DOWN GO DOWN GO SOUTH (there's an octopus here) SHOOT HARPOON (it slithers away to suffer) DROP HARPOON GET RUM GO SOUTH GO WEST GO UP GO EAST GO FLOE GO WEST GO WEST GO TRADING DROP RUM (eskimo trades it for dogsled) GO SLED SAY MUSH ***THE END***
