Was a long-shot, but I tried. Called an old friend who I'd given a copy of my Indy game to long ago. It worked fine on his C-64 then as on my Vic-20. He doesn't have it but reminded me it had more sounds, music and animated graphics which I forgot about. Plus, he remembered another game I'd made called "Basket Case" after the film. I forgot about that one, too!

That "C64 Emulator" and "WINFROTZ Z-Machine Interpreter" are somewhere to download along with all the Adventure Games. Be careful before downloading, you know. This buried folder I found has the emulator, interpreter and several games yet played for posterity. Thanks for reminding me about this, man!

Oh cool. Maybe you'll make a new adventure someday. :) I used to use WinVICE for the C64 emulator when I was playing around with learning Commodore BASIC a number of years back. I also looked at Inform 7 which is made specifically for text adventure games and to run on the Z-machine, I believe. What lang were you programming in at the time?

Considering just simple html can make adventures (you've proven that!), that's about as far as I'd go with it. Even still, I'm more the player than the DM and wouldn't wanna steal your thunder by making one here. Too time consuming for me right now. Maybe next winter. (cont>>>)

No, no... language? Dude, those games I'd made were on the Vic-20 in '82-'83(?). It was the "10 goto 20" plus the sounds and animations were just jazzed-up from the Commodore Guide's basics. A lot of typing back then... lost interest in the Vic-20... umm, "Girls, Girls, Girls". Ya catch? Those distractions, ya know. Did keep playin' D&D, Trek, Marvel, Cthulu, Mech Wars, et al RPGs with 'the guys'. But babes, man. ;)
