Alice and the March Hare/Alice in Wonderland

#1 Post by Strident » Sun Sep 19, 2021 4:58 pm

This game for the Einstein...

Alice and the March Hare
https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C3 ... +Hare.html

Appears to be the same game as, this one for the Memotech...

Alice in Wonderland
https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C1 ... rland.html

Looking at the screenshots for the Einstein version, they match the Memotech ones on our site (and elsewhere, such as PrimroseBank)
http://www.tatungeinstein.co.uk/games/alice.htm

I'll therefore combine the two entries soon.

Does anyone know where the reference for the Atari version (on the memotech version) comes from?

Aha!

Here's the "Steve Lashower" Atari "Alice in Wonderland"

Is it even the same game, I wonder?

Ah, that Steve Lashower "Alice" isn't a game at all. It's a text version of the Disney movie, interspersed with the songs. Very cute, but nothing to do with text adventures, so I'll remove the Atari references from that entry. :)

Ah, I was just about to say that, but you beat me to it. However, there is another Atari 8-bit 'Alice in Wonderland' published by Continental Software in 1983. It might be a text adventure, but I haven't seen it.

That's the one I'd be looking for, if it exists. I've not spotted it anywhere yet. That'll be the one that matches with the Memotech entry. (The original Memotech/Atari entry was credited to Steven Lashower... which I've changed to the actual author of the Memotech version)

The Memotech and the Einstein entry have now been combined.
