Hi,

I've been looking in the machine code of several text adventures but much is encrypted and I was wondering if there's a way to translate this into readable text?
One example I'm working on is the Spanish game Hades for the ZX Spectrum. Now, I can view the text but it's all scrambled. That is, I can't see what strings to enter in order to solve it. I tried breaking into BASIC but the POKEs offered online don't work. Holding SHIFT+SPACE BAR does nothing. There must be a way to get hints from the code. Any suggestions?

It was created with the PAW, so you can just load it into the 128K version of PAWs. Or use a decompressor such as unpaws or inpaws to extract all the text, code and database.

Thanks!
