Re: [Audyssey] The old text game known as adventure or colossal cave

I believe there is a zcode version of the game, which would work fine under any version of windows with a zcode interpreter. All the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: "Ron Kolesar" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday,

Re: [Audyssey] The old text game known as adventure or colossal cave

hugecave is the big version I used to play and recommend. For windows 10 interpreters probably winfrotz will work. On Sun, 29 Jan 2017, Tobias Vinteus wrote: Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2017 12:12:28 From: Tobias Vinteus Reply-To: Gamers Discussion list To:

Yup, there are a couple of those: both Zcode, Tads and AGT and probably a couple others. One of them is a ZCode version called hugecave. On Sun, 29 Jan 2017, Ron Kolesar wrote: it's a shame we can not get this old classic to work with windows 10 anniversary? I'm hoping that we can. Ron

Re: [Audyssey] The old text game known as adventure or colossal cave

There is a version on the Interactive Fiction Archive called Adventure 770. If memory serves me right, there is a Windows version. I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible to compile a version from the freely available source using Cygwin or mingw32. Yes, this is techno-babble, I know, but

Oh, good Lord! I haven't played that game in ages of ages. I wonder how well using dictation would work? I'd be willing to give it a good try if you can get it going. When using it on a DOS machine, (see how long ago that was?), I never did finish the game. If you think you're

If you get the right version, yes. There's a thousand point version which was the last expansion of the original game and I enjoyed that one most of all. When I downloaded it I got it off compuserve when compuserve was still a useable place to go. Compuserve is gone as is delphi.com and
