Re: Grundy NewBrain adventure games by KAYDE

Forget about "The Swamp" it was actually called "The Valley" and I found an original NewBrain tape in my attic, which I have now converted to run on the NewBrain Emulator.

So now I am only looking for Arcane Quest, The Roundsby Incident and Picnic Adventure by Kayde that is if they ever were ...

Re: Intercom Games on CP/M 2.2 running with RUN.COM Interpre

The NewBrain Emulator v2.64Beta13 is very stable I have used it on lots and lots of NewBrain programs.

Also try the external tool to remap the keys according to the UK keyboard layout. There are two generated text files that might help.

Re: Another Classic Ported to TRS-80 MC-10

You are correct the Orient Express actually departed from Calais, France. The connection from Victoria track 14 is just a connection to get the Ferry to Calais to pick up the Orient Express. I will modify the NewBrain program version to incorporate this.

Simplon Orient Express 1939

I do run all the PC versions of the games directly using Frotz. However the challenge was to get as many Infocom games running on the NewBrain in CP/M Mode. The NewBrain programs and NB Emulator is my main interest and we have a great NewBrain website at www.newbrainemu.eu. Check it out we have over ...

There are not many CP/M machines out there still working. I use the Commodore 128, NewBrain AD and Amstrad, but there were many others like Kaypro II and Osborne and Altair with either 8 inch or 5.25 inch floppies.
