Castle Hallways Ti-99

[Simon]

Castle Hallways by Patrick Crosbie has its page here:
https://www.solutionarchive.com/game/id,3833/

But the game that I have, with the same title and author (credited in the source code), is a 3d arcade maze game along the lines of 3D Monster maze, but without the monster.

Thanks, though this does raise the question as to why Mickey Schmitt included it in his Text Adventure Reference Guide.

So unless Patrick Crosbie liked the title name so much that he used it for more than one game (which has happened elsewhere, e.g. Cliff Johnson with The Labyrinth of Crete) with one of those games being a text adventure, I will mark this game entry for deletion. If anyone has any objections please reply within the next week.

Well, Mickey's guide has that one tagged as ROLE-G-BB2; which is "role-playing-type adventure game" with "some graphics" on "cassette and disk" for "beginner" and of "fair quality".

Edit: It's always interesting going back and looking for stuff multiple times, as I've discovered a mention of it, again as a "role playing adventure game" in this West Penn '99ers newsletter which I've not previously come across...

...which I'll nose through at some point to see if there is anything useful about text adventures.

It would seem that Mickey Schmitt was the president of this group...

Lots to read...

I updated all the TI-99/4a games that I could find a couple of years ago. Mickey Schmitt's guide was one of my references, but I ignored anything in the RPG category. I added screen grabs for all the text adventures. This obviously wasn't one of them.

A little later than anticipated, , I've deleted Castle Hallways and since it was the only entry for Patrick Crosbie I have also deleted his name from the database.
