Workman & Associates Adventure "editor"
Randomly looking at Dynacomp's entries in a Kaypro catalogue and noticed Workman & Associates "editor" for their 1980 CP/M version of Adventure.
Not something I've researched in the past, but it is mentioned in Byte Magazine (November 1981).

Re: Dynacomp Adventures
I guess, Europe had its hoards of micros, but North America had hoards of CP/M machines.
Seems like Dynacomp also supported the Kaypro II, 4 and 10, which were Z80 CP/M machines...

Re: Recovered ZX Spectrum adventures
Good to hear... probably better than the author's previous adventure, then.Alex wrote: Fri Feb 18, 2022 1:07 pm Part 1 is fine. I only noticed one small bug where you can't return to a certain location although the room description says you can, but that was no problem for solving the game.
I've uploaded a map and a solution.

North Star was a new name to me, also.

Dynacomp Adventures
Following on from a post in the Recovered Adventures thread, I'm just posting these Dynacomp catalogues for further investigation, as I think there are some unlisted/unknown text adventures in them that need further investigating...

Zodiac Castle / Adventure at Zodiac Castle
Written by Dennis N. Strong and distributed by Dynacomp in 1982
Interestingly, a Dynacomp catalogue mentions that this game has the same layout as another one, The Windmere Estate Adventure, so that's another unknown Apple adventure for the database ...

Recovered Adventures
As archivists are recovering lost (or even unknown) versions of classic adventures all the time, I thought I'd start to log them here as, although we do tend to update the game's pages on CASA to mention it, new "finds" can be easy to miss.
To start off, I spotted this one on Twitter, by prolific ...

The two-part* adventure The Wight Smugglers has now been recovered...

Re: Let's Compute - Adventure Writing Tutorial
Probably not!
It just seems to be a very simple, wander around the spaceship type of game.
