Things have been a bit quiet on this side, but I wanted to get an update out before the end of 2011. We still have some stuff submitted in the admin queue that we are working on adding!

A brief update to show that things are still moving. This time there has been some investigation into obscure French computers.

A quick update to thank everyone who has submitted new games and solutions. (Apparently I've contributed something as well, but for the life of me I can't remember what!)

It's all been a bit quiet recently due to having other commitments; but I'm happy to say that we've finally crossed the 5000 games in our database mark (5001 as of the time of posting). Thanks to all the contributors for this mammoth achievement!

Just a quick update to stop the next one being too big. We've had a large amount of new games added on multiple platforms. We are nearly at the 5000 games mark, which is quite impressive as a year ago we'd just got to 1500!

This update features a heap of new C64 titles. A huge thank you to iamaran for gathering all this information. The remaining games reported by him will be added within a few days.

Everything seems to be back to normal now after the downtime which means that the number of games and solutions in the site's database is again steadily increasing. Here are the latest additions:

And we seem to be back on the air! Apologies to all for being offline for several days. This past Saturday, the Copenhagen area, where our servers are located, was hit by the worst rainfall in 30+ years. Many places have been flooded, and there have been widespread power outages.
This also affected our servers who apparently found themselves under several feet of water. Our web host has been struggling non-stop ever since to get its customers back online.

Well, I certainly hope we're there. I'm not sure if any data being added just prior to the crash has been lost, so if you've submitted anything recently and it's not in place, please let us know.

Again, thanks for being patient.

Just a quick update to stop the list getting too big!

The last update contained the first games that we've found released natively on the Android mobile phone platform, showing that we're not totally behind the times! The list is currently wanting, so if you have found or play any native mobile phone text adventures, please submit them.

It's Sunday night so I suppose one of us should post an update! And what an update it is, with a huge number of solutions added to the site.

Lo and behold! Exactly one year ago the new version of CASA was born (kicking and screaming, too!) My my, how time flies when you're having fun :)
We've come a long way since then, and the baby keeps growing nicely - and more or less according to schedule. Thanks, everybody, for keeping those contributions coming, and a particular thank you to my co-admins for helping with the creation of the site and the maintenance!
(For the record, Google came up a little short when it came to "text adventure birthday cake" - shesh... so this tasty-looking piece of C64 goodness was the best I could come up with)

It's the weekend and an impressive looking list of updates is just waiting to be published.

It's been a while since our last news update, but please remember that this is just a rundown of what's happened since then. Even though we don't post news items all the time, we try to process your submissions as quickly as possible and solutions etc. are usually added several times per week.
A special mention this time must go to THayes, as some of his solutions...erm.... slipped under the radar recently (ok, ok, that's a nicer way of saying "I misplaced them"!).

As many will probably have realised by now these updates do not adhere to a regular schedule. They appear when someone thinks that enough new or updated material has been added to the site that an update is warranted, or when some important news is pending. So without further ado here are the latest additions and updates, and my apologies to blurgle for not mentioning his review in the previous update.

It's been a week since the last update and there has been quite a bit of activity as you can see.

This week's update features a number of C64 games. This platform is tracking way behind the Spectrum here on CASA, and personally I'd like to change that status a bit :)
We have a large no. of solutions in the pipeline - they'll be added during the next few days.

Contributors: dave, Gunness, Amby, Alastair, Mark, Dorothy

A trumpet fanfare please! There are now over 4,500 games in the database.

Playtesters needed! With this week's update, we also have a request from Larry Horsfield, who's a well-known name in the homegrown adventure community. Larry has been porting some of his games to the ACE format, and he needs people who can help test the games. More details in the forum.

Another weekly update. A selection of solutions from the hive of activity that is terri and Juan are present. We have also started to delve into the murky world of Japanese text adventures and have initially added some Japanese ports of western games, but expect more!

Another substantial update sees the number of games with solutions pass the 2000 mark. A big thank you to all who have contributed.

With this week's update - yet another large one - the number of solutions in the archive is closing in on 2,000. Still, as of this moment there are nearly 2,500 unsolved games remaining, so there should be plenty of titles to keep everybody occupied for a while!

With a large number of new solutions added to the site I guess it's time for another update.

Among other things, this week's update features a number of games created with STAC, the Atari ST successor to GAC.
In addition, I located a number of Japanese games for Fujitsu's FM-7 series. As my Japanese skills are slightly underwhelming, I'd be grateful for any input as to what these games are about :) (and I'm sure that Exercises in the Hell is just a really, really bad translation)

Welcome to 2011! It's been rather quiet around here lately - I presume that people have been getting some well-deserved holiday R&R.
