I've also "ported" this game.

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10
I've created a simplified version of "The World of Eamon: Beginners Cave" for the MC-10. A complete playthrough (SPOLIER ALERT!) can be found here:

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10
These games are incredibly charming.
It would be fun to retranslate it into French after debugging and translating it into English.
I noticed a file called VAMPIRE.TXT (VAMPIRE'S CASTLE Adventure) in the quicktype/Text Adventures/Fifi's folder that seems out of place. I'm letting you know in ...

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10
I have ported "La Guerre du Feu", a graphic text adventure for the Sanyo PHC-25 to the TRS-80 MC-10 and translated the game to English from French. I have also made some bug fixes which possibly made the game impossible to win. I have now completed the game by one of the two main ways that it won ...

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10
Yep not too hard to fix. I also added some fixes to allow the say command to say other words besides those recognized as nouns by the game. I also noticed that in line 170 McCracken uses a GOSUB to jump to the the main game input loop at 210 and over the "end game" routine at 180. But in the main ...

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10
Thanks. I didn't know that, as I hadn't seen the book.
Hey Garry, thanks for the McCracken Arctic Adventure walkthrough and map. Really helpful in doing my port to MC-10. Couldn't get the TRS-80 disk to run properly on my TRS-80 emulator. But in my port I noticed a weird bug where if I entered ...

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10
That's actually from Creative Computing (the magazine, not the publisher). It was reprinted in David Ahl's book a couple of years later. David Ahl was the publisher of Creative Computing and editor of the book.
True, but according to Jason Dyer there was a printing error in the 1982 magazine ...

I've created a new MC-10 version of "Survival" aka "Moon Survival Adventure" from the 1984 Ahl book "Big BASIC Games". Only minimal changes made to get the source to work properly. https://archive.org/details/survival_202504
