Question about Quill version of Pirate Adventure
Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2012 12:51 am
World of Spectrum has a version of Scott Adams' Pirate Adventure that's written on The Quill. (In fact one of the CASA screenshots is from this version, via WoS. See if you can guess which one it is!)
Does anyone know where this comes from, and who wrote it? WoS lists it as "Original Release", but I doubt that! And it wouldn't be the first time they've got adventure details wrong.
The program itself claims to be "From The Original By Scott Adams", whatever that means. Was this an official port, or just a fan project?
There are various changes to the text. A lot of static objects have been moved into location descriptions, and messages have been altered. For example, where Scott had: "Bird flys off looking very unhappy", the Quill game says: "The parrot take fright and flies away."
Very odd.
