Tim Hartnell and Clive Gifford's Mysterious Adventures

Why is there so little on the Net, including in the CASA database, on Tim Hartnell and Clive Gifford's "Mysterious Adventures" for MCX computers 1985? Is there something I'm missing in my searches regarding these programs? Were they just crap? They truly are mysterious.

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.

Re: Planet of Death

You're right. Here's the info on the source I used for my port to BASIC.

// "Planet of Death: Adventure A". Original by Artic Computing, ported to
// TI-89 and TI-92+ by Zeljko Juric, based on generic C port by Paul Taylor.

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

I have ported "Silverton Adventure" from the book The Second Rainbow Book of Adventures. Condensed to fit a 20K MC-10 and now with word wrap. Anyone aware of a playthrough or map? Looks like it is full of tricky puzzles.https://youtu.be/fGl8QEEqsEw

Re: Planet of Death

Ported some source I found on line from the ZX81 version to TRS-80 MC-10. Complete walkthrough video here:
https://youtu.be/hlQTlEoR5ko. I remember lots of bugs in the original ZX81 source that I fixed in various ways to make it work like the walkthrough for the Speccy version, I think.

Re: Does 'De Tijdmachine' exist for Spectrum ZX?

I think I might try translating this to English and porting it to MC-10. Is it a good game?
