Re: Searching for C128 CP/M textadventure games

Not to my knowledge - but I know that people have converted some of Infocom's CP/M versions so they'd run on a 128 in CP/M mode. Probably not what you're looking for, but hey.... :)

As an aside, we don't list C128 as a separate platform, either, so the few available titles (errrr.... A Mind Forever ...

Re: Dracula's Ride

Judging by his profile, he hasn't been in here since you posted, so that's probably the reason.

Re: A rambling of sorts.

Time has been limited lately, so the Sunday in question ended up being a week late :?

Anyway, I think I tested the MESS emulator at some point, but it's my impression that TRS32 is the better option. Anyway, booting up in NEWDOS/80 I keep getting DIRECTORY READ ERROR when using the DIR command ...

Re: A rambling of sorts.

Yes, system ROMs are in place, and the emulator does boot up w/o problems.

The problem is with a lot of disks, not one in particular. And it's disk images I know other have used, so it's probably a matter of emulator config.
So, if you have a fool-proof method...? :)

Re: A rambling of sorts.

It's with the TRS32 emulator, and various versions of NEWDOS. Oh, the woes.... ;)
I run the emulator, put the DOS in drive 0, the game in drive 1, boot up and no woes yet.
But when I try to access the game disk, I just get endless device errors. And headaches!

With an oddball game title like had, you have to be interested ;)

Re: Dracula's Ride

Is there one site where all your games can be downloaded from? I could put a link in your site profile :)

Re: TAB - Windows IF/Text Adventure Maker

Thanks for keeping us updated! I have to admit that whatever meagre talents I might have, I'll never find the time to create an actual game worth anyone's time. At least worth more than five minutes of said time. But it's terrific that there are still viable alternatives to TADS and Inform :)

Re: A rambling of sorts.

Nothing like a good rambling once in a while :thumb:

Yeah, it'd be great if our beloved genre got a bit more widespread recognition! But I must admit that I don't miss the days where a computer cost more than a Yugo (and Yugos were never that cheap ;)) I love the fact that using emulators, I can ...

Re: Just a question

Sure hope it is :D

One more question:
Is "Where is everybody?" inspired by the first episode of The Twilight Zone? I'm a huge fan of the series, so had to ask :)

The Island - An Adventure

I've received this partial solution from our user, Danowar, for this C64 game , which he's stuck in. He's also supplied a map. Anybody feel like completing it?

Re: Just a question

Hi Dave,
I'm going through these right now and adding. Sorry about the delay. You can find your profile here - 12 games total.
Mind you, CASA is information-only - we do not carry the games themselves (as per the site FAQ )

If you could supply me with a bit of info on each game - synopsis, year of ...
