Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
Hi,
I read the very good The Quill (and AdventureWriter) Reference Guide Version 0.2, and it seems that there is an error about Object type:
<199 – wearable
>200 – not-wearable

Re: A bad link.
I'm not sure... the forum search won't let me search for the retrogaming DOT com web address. Will try a site search on Google.Gunness wrote: Thu Apr 30, 2020 3:20 pm Ok, I'm uncertain: Was the site only linked to from that one forum thread? If so, I've removed the link.

Re: 8bitAG.com/info
Yes, it's your emulator. It's not a title picture... it's a loading screen. If you've got fast loading turned on then you won't have time to see the loading screen.

Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted
Duplicate system, rather than duplicate game...
A second entry for the AdventureWriter appears to have been added...
http://solutionarchive.com/list/system%2C139/

Useful information, thanks. I've put a note on the Saigon page about the Apple II version.

Cool, thanks!
The whole nomenclature of the whole Tandy/TRS-80 range of computers is very confusing!

Re: TRS-80 experts... John Olson & John R. Olsen
I've converted a game called "Island of Secrets" adventure for the MC-10, but I don't see any author info in the source. I haven't done Gymnasium, or the others. Sorry, I can't be of much help here.
Ah, I think it was probably Mansion Adventure that made me think you might have done...
