Re: Lost Apple II commercial text adventure game
Most of these games are not able to downloaded to play in either Applewin or an Atari emulator (nor TRS-80).

If you have those Softside games, why don't you try to get them imaged. And if they already are, can they be downloaded? I searched for them, but to no avail.

Re: Lost Apple II commercial text adventure game
From my perspective, the Softside disk adventures are the only other remaining Apple II text adventures still MIA (not available on other computer platforms).
This is possibly a little off-topic, but if you are referring to the SoftSide Adventure of the Month series, these are all available. I ...

Re: Primal Adventure... 1980?
I had this as being published by Karel Software, but no publication date. Not sure where I got the info, though.

Re: Lost Apple II commercial text adventure game
The C64 version is in CBM 64 programs - Volume 1, Duckworth Home Computing, 1984, pp. 169–189. It is credited to Mark Capella, but I don't know whether he actually ported it.

Re: Lost Apple II commercial text adventure game
You're welcome to add any new info. I'm not concerned about credits.
This is just a hunch, but I reckon the C64 version probably came from the PET version, as the PET was around when the Apple II was around. We're talking 1980. The C64 came much later.

Re: Lost Apple II commercial text adventure game
'Will 'o the Wisp' was published in Nibble , vol. 1, no. 8, December 1980, pp. ?–? and reprinted in Nibble Express , vol. 1, pp. 151–158. It was ported to the TI-99/4A by Barry T Boland and to the TRS-80 by an unknown author.

Re: Lost Apple II commercial text adventure game
This is great information. It sounds like you've already done a thorough search, so it's unlikely to be found unless someone on one of the Apple forums has a copy.

Two-word Adventuron treasure-hunt game jam is underway
The third Adventuron game jam has just started at itch.io. This time around, the rules specify that the game must be text only with a two-word limit on all room descriptions, object descriptions and commands. Messages have a six-word limit.

I don't know, because I haven't translated it. Be brave. Do us all a favour.

Fair enough. Lurkio it is then.

Re: Nellan Is Thirsty (1980) ported to BBC BASIC
Just for the credits, does Lurkio have a real name? I'm sure I've got it somewhere, but it's quicker to ask.

Re: Does 'De Tijdmachine' exist for Spectrum ZX?
Thanks for all the feedback on this. The version I had was the same as the version that Alex posted. It looks like this was for Basicode 1 and the version on the JavaScript interpreter web site is for Basicode 2. The lines that look like they're for the PC are Basicode code.

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10
Hey Jim, I just read your blog about 'A Hos Lovag' where you were bemoaning the lack of a TRS-80 version of Frank DaCosta's 'Mazies and Crazies'. This appears to be an RPG of some sort, so I'm not surprised that no one's bothered with it. However, if you're interested in his adventure 'Basements and ...

Re: Random game link failing
It's related to search engine optimisation. Underscores are removed and the words blend into one. For example, "game_name" becomes "gamename" and that word will not rate very highly. Whereas "game-name" becomes "game name" and that will rate highly.

Re: Random game link failing
Good point, but if you're serious about that, you shouldn't use '+' as a separator between words. You should use '-'. And you shouldn't use underscores '_' as a separator in filenames for screen grabs, maps and solutions. Once again, you should use hyphens '-'.
