Re: Spectrum Conversion

Thanks! This does not seem to go anywhere, either, though, because what to do with the key? I updated the solution file nevertheless, of course.

Re: Spectrum Conversion

That's good to hear! I agree by the way that the game would benefit greatly from having more things implemented on the side. The world could be much more alive.

Re: Spectrum Conversion

I finished the game (solution to be added to CASA soon). It was very nice, but also quite buggy. Would it help your port if I posted a list of problems which struck me in the original? Some were quite substantial.

Re: Spectrum Conversion

It"s a pity your system is MS only, because I'd definitely like to play that game. Does it have cheesy songs as well? ;) Could you, by any chance, point me to the original Spectrum version?

Re: Search by "date when added to site"?

Wouldn't it make more sense to offer the option to sort by entry date? That way, the usefulness is not dependent on the frequency of site updates.

While we're all still patiently waiting for Jacob to finish the article editing job (the first anniversary is approaching fast ;)), Jason Scott is now releasing the full interviews . My favourite part of what I've watched so far: Scott Adams likens his founding of Adventure International to Isaac ...

Re: CASA link

Please don't make the logo link in the forum point to the website! It would break any regular habit (not only) I have!

Re: Paul's 4k Adventure - coder's help needed (again)
