Re: [Audyssey] island game
Yup - also already copied things like directory listing off C: drive into a floppy disk image to double check spelling of some of them - used 7zip to extract contents afterwards - would be nice to also figure out how to do things like change speech rate on the fly/go, using keystrokes, or commands, or something, but, let's see. Also got to now test another game someone else mentioned to me - braminar, which is a full on standalone form of interactive fiction role-playing game - and worked fine now off it's own .flp image...smile Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA Roger Wilco wants to welcome you...to the space janitor's closet... - Original Message - From: Josh k joshknnd1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 10:42 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] island game and now that you can use the virtual floppy you can then do copy a:\*.* c:\dosgames and put your games inside the hard drive of the vm.

Hi, I was able to use the jaws7 virtualise window function to capture a few of the screens of the island game. I think it'd be best if a windows version of the game could be made. Jaws doesn't read the DOS screens right or is slow at reading them. text pasted below. Josh graphic 568 D:\TEXT_A~1\ISLAND.EXE AdventureWare ISLAND OF MYSTERY ADVENTURE by Steven Neighorn Agency Automation 12622 N.E. Halsey St. Portland, Oregon 97230 Telephone (503) 255-1935 Copyright (c) 1987 All Rights Reserved Please call or write for information on Agency Automation products. If you find this program enjoyable, then a voluntary contribution of $5 would be greatly appreciated. The money will help me keep the bill collectors at bay for another month so I can continue to produce adventure games and finish my college education. Please feel free to share unmodified copies of this program with others. Any suggestions or comments can be sent to the above address and would also be appreciated. Press spacebar to continue graphic 568 D:\TEXT_A~1\ISLAND.EXE Island of Mystery Adventure Welcome once again to the wonderful world of adventure, where knowledge, creativity, and common sense lead you through castles, ghost towns, haunted ships, and dozens of other exciting atmospheres. This time you'll be exploring a tiny island in the middle of a vast ocean in search of eleven treasures. You must first locate each of the treasures and then find the secret place where the treasures must be stored. Twenty points are awarded for each properly stored treasure. Once a treasure has been stored it can not be retrieved. There are 240 possible points (this includes 20 bonus points that are awarded for three particularly difficult tasks). The game will end when you reach the 240 point plateau. Press spacebar to continue graphic 568 D:\TEXT_A~1\ISLAND.EXE Island of Mystery Adventure To move across the island, simply type N,S,E, or W for the four main directions on the compass rose. The word 'go' is not needed. You can also use function keys 1-4 for these directions. Use only one or two word commands. A few commonly used commands that you will find useful are look, get, take, drop, and inventory. You need only type the first three letters of any command for the program to understand what you are saying. For instance, the command 'DROP PISTOL' can be typed as 'DRO PIS'. The FIX command will fix the screen display in case the screen becomes distorted for any reason. The adventure understands about 50 commands in all. The function keys have been programmed with some useful adventure commands. Press spacebar to continue graphic 568 D:\TEXT_A~1\ISLAND.EXE Some words to the wise... 1) The majority of the 11 treasures have other uses. Be careful when you store a treasure, you can't get it back! 2) Be sure to examine everything you find. 3) Be on the lookout for hidden messages. 4) Remember that some of the treasures are secretly hidden. This is an adventure after all! 5) If more than four objects are at a location, the more message will be displayed in the visible object window, meaning you can't see everything that is around you at once. You can move objects around to get a look at everything. 6) The only way to find all 11 treasures is by successive movements, that is, one command must be used before another command becomes useful. 7) Watch out for the headhunters. You never know when they will show up! Press spacebar to continue graphic 568 D:\TEXT_A~1\ISLAND.EXE Some words to the wise... 8) You have a limited amount of time to find all the treasures. A huge storm is heading your way on the island, and if it hits before you find all the treasures, the game will end. 9) If one set of words in a command doesn't seem to be working, try another combination. The vocabulary the adventure program understands is limited, and words that may make sense to you might not make sense to the adventure. 10) GOOD LUCK and HAPPY ADVENTURING!

Hi, Below is a link where you can get the island game at. The game is about 80k when unzipped. It consists of a single file, island.exe . Run that file to play the game. If it's too hard to play since it was designed for MS-DOS, could a windows version of the game be created? again, see the forwarded message below, to get the island game.

Re: [Audyssey] island
I wasn't able to get that far. This game is public domain, thats good to know. When audiogamemaker comes out I may try to code this. First though I need something or someone to translate the source to psudo text describing clearly what every thing does. I don't understand c. So I used a pascal convert, but I still don't understand the file. At 06:30 p.m. 6/02/2007, you wrote: Hi, I found the island game, I think. not sure if it's the one I was looking for.
