Black Island Adventure (rarity!)

Hi folks,
I'm stuck in B.I.A. which runs on the Jupiter Ace, and I have a hunch that nobody has heard of either of these :lol: But I hope that some of you will be willing to join me, anyway.

The Jupiter Ace was a rather odd British computer in that it used FORTH instead of BASIC. Consequently very ...

How embarassing - I posted this in my news section more than a year ago, but simply forgot to put it in the links section as well. D'oh.

The site largely sounds like the kind of site I'd love to make myself :wink: So please, everybody, give your input to IFDB.

Take this opportunity to give yourself a well-deserved round of applause !
Hey, I like this :D

All in all, a nice, and at times rather challenging game. What's next?

Ah, that was the missing bit. Anyway, I'm writing up a walkthrough and doing a map, so you two don't have to :)

Hi there,
welcome to the forum!
Yes, sure I'll review your solutions for you :)

There are no "right ways" of writing these things, but it's always helpful to a) add comments to crucial steps (i.e.: When you pass the guard, make a note in the solution that this is only possible because you're ...

I think that just a thread with buggy games for each platform should be sufficient. Maintaining a list of who's currently playing what games could become quite a lot of work - and besides, it's fairly easy to see who's playing a game by looking at its thread.

Terri, yes, I remember 7th Star. I still have my notes somewhere. And you're right, Dave must be our man.

Dave, you're our man! (You probably didn't know it until now, but you are).
The game in question is this one:

Well, all that remained was walking through a number of rooms, so .... I don't think we can keep up this speed every time!

Dave,
Interesting article - and yes, at a couple of points I allowed FB to trawl through my email list. Silly me, it would seem.

Still, that phone call just arrived and made the the richest geek on the planet. Muhahahaha!

Dave, if that friend request from you should ever pop up on my FB, I'll ...
