An Actor's Nightmare (TRS-80 CoCo)

Hi, all. The Third Rainbow Book Of Adventures for the Tandy Color Computer 1, 2 and 3 was mentioned on the Classic Text Adventures group on Facebook the other day, and I was wondering if anyone could help me get the tape version of the game An Actor's Nightmare to work in an emulator? The program is...

I have thought of it, but spamming the FB group might turn a lot of people off.
The news posts that appear on the CASA homepage and in the Planet IF blog aggregator feed are very infrequent and would be welcome on Facebook, I think.

I've got a BASIC listing and a scan of the magazine article. I'll check it during the weekend and get back to you...unless someone else beats me to it.
Thanks, Garry. Could you please check the listing against the version that's on bbcmicro.co.uk?:

Re: The Curse of Crowley Manor in BASIC

Is that the one by Jyym Pearson? I originally played that on the Atari 8-bit. A little while back, I ported it to Inform and vastly expanded it. I compiled it for Glulx, complete with graphics from the Apple II version, but with most images modified a bit. I haven't released it, as it's not quite f...

For individual puzzles, the most memorable for me is the tea remover (or T-remover?) in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where using it turned the rabbit into a rabbi.
<loathsome_pedantry> I believe the T-remover was actually in Leather Goddesses Of Phobos. </loathsome_pedantry>

Sorry to derail this thread, Garry, but I've been told you might have a copy of the BBC Micro version of Revenge Of The Toothless Vampire..?

Please let me know if you do:

Revenge of the Toothless Vampire

Does anyone have a copy of the BBC Micro version of Revenge of the Toothless Vampire?

I know the listing is available in a scan of Games Computing magazine at archive.org, but some of CASA's screenshots look like they might be from a Beeb version, so I'm hoping it's already been typed in..!?

Re: Seeking SUDS games

You can't download files from a torrent unless the torrent has at least one "seeder": i.e. someone who has already downloaded the files in question and can upload them to you. That's the basic premise on which the BitTorrent protocol depends. It depends on other people keeping their computers online...

Those three games were collected and shared by a former user of a certain interactive fiction forum and of another forum.

Not sure if that helps.
