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

Converted an adventure game "Success Mansion" written by Paul Ruby Jr in 1986 for the TRS-80 Coco. It was designed to support the Tandy Speech/Sound Pak but I have removed all those elements. The game must be loaded in two parts, the main program SUCCESS1.C10 and then a data file SUCCESS2.C10. I ...

It's here:

POD.6.TXT is the most up-to-date version, ignore the rest.

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

Okay I've been working on Trek Adventure 2/Galaxy Trek Adventure #2 by Howard Batie. I've condensed the code so it fits (I hope) into a regular MC-10. There are three files: GALSTART, GALTREK1 and GALTREK2
Run GALSTART for instructions for the game
GALTREK1 to start the game (this is the main ...

Re: Galaxy Trek Adventure #2 by Howard Batie

Thanks Alastair,

I had real trouble in the past with MESS under Linux, but I should try it again.

Until then, it's fail and retrace all my steps...

Re: Galaxy Trek Adventure #2 by Howard Batie

Yes some weird stuff going on with the titles between the articles and the actual programs. Don't know what's up with that. Batie a bit batty? He writes nice code, and the game seems like it might be interesting, but with no game save feature built in, I thought it would be nice to port to the TRS ...

Re: Galaxy Trek Adventure #2 by Howard Batie

Okay. I've made a DSK image with a TRS-80 Version of Batie's second Star Trek Adventure (for anyone who is interested) and posted it in the files section of the TRS-80 Yahoo group:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/TRS-80/files/G-Soft/

I also have TRS80 Coco version (on the JGAMES12.DSK):

Re: Wizard's Castle from Recreational Computing Magazine 198

If it is a version of the classic David Ahl game you might try here:
http://crpgaddict.blogspot.ca/2013/02/game-90-wizards-castle-1980.html

However, if it is that game I think it is essentially random. I think it creates a grid/castle with new arrangements of monsters/items/exit every time you ...

Galaxy Trek Adventure #2 by Howard Batie

I can find Galaxy Trek Adventure #1 listed in the database, but not #2.. They were both programmed by Howard Batie. I have been working on converting a scan of Adventure #2 from Hot Coco Magazine. I am wondering if anyone has possibly solved this, or is aware of an existing copy out there that's ...

Colin,

Just in case you're interested, here's a link to my TRS-80 MC-10 ports of a bunch of classic IF:

Most use a word-wrap routine in line 1 to print most messages (M$) that can be modified for any width you like:
