Ahh its been so long, but I finally got a hold of and managed to complete the last of the Mountain Valley Software Games, 'Escape from Raka Tua'. I'll have to write up a solution this week. Its a nice compact little game, full of the same MVS-isms as all the other games, no brutal mazes or anything (like Lost city).

Sounds great! That reminds me that I need to finish the map and write up the solution for Treasure of Dead Man's Cay. I should also upload some Q&A I did with Brian Betts.

That'd be cool to see some q+a with him.
What is Treasure of Dead Man's Cay? I find no references to it outside of this site.
Is it like the rest of the MVS games?? can I get a copy??

That's because CASA is your #1 source for all the breaking news on the adventure front
No, really... Brian Betts wrote a few more games that for various reasons went unpublished.
Treasure (which, yes, is like the others) is one, there's another called
Sorcerers of Ravenswood and a couple more which I'm unsure were ever finished or not. The games have been stored on disc in a basement for years, so Brian had to struggle a great deal with transferring the games, but I think he managed to rescue them all.
The games will all be released, I'll ask him how he wants to do it

That's an interesting little subsection to the site that I never noticed before, but shouldn't it refreshed with the site's new colour scheme?

Stu, you have a pm
And yes, the articles section still needs revision. Bringing the MVS sub-site into line with the rest of the site's design would be a lot of work, so that's something that needs careful consideration.

Ok, both the Pirate scans and the MVS sub-site is now linked correctly on the articles page.
Apart from removing the menu from the old site, I haven't done anything with the MVS pages, but at least they're working now.
