Re: Adventure Challenge

Hannes, I have a feeling that quite a few people are (or have been) on holiday which may explain the lack of response.

Personally, if I've had time to visit the site I have tried to use that time to reduce the backlog of entries which is why I have not been paying attention to the challenge of late.

Re: Intercom Games on CP/M 2.2 running with RUN.COM Interpre

There are a number of disc images for SAM Coupé CP/M 2.2 Infocom titles near the bottom of this page, but not having the means to look inside the images I do not know if any of them contain the program you are looking for.

Re: Spurious screenshot

It appears that it comes from Niemandsland but it doesn't look like any of the other Robotron KC images on the site, so I'm not sure what platform the screenshot comes from.

Re: Mystery of Silver Mountain

The game comes from one of the free Usborne 1980s computer books that I mentioned earlier this year. It is still available from Usborne, just click on the image of the book with the same title.

Re: Adventure Challenge

I've been searching a site called The Good Old Days (I don't know if you have heard of it) in an attempt to find the screenshot and thus the name of the game shown in clue 2. So far I've had no luck.

The Infocom Documentation Project should help with the codes.

Re: Galaxy Trek Adventure #2 by Howard Batie

Jim,
MAME and MESSUI (MAME with a UI, the old name has been retained even though MESS and MAME were combined several versions ago) have TRS-80 emulation that allows the saving and restoring of memory states.

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

There's a complete listing of The Orient Express, 1923, written in Microsoft BASIC (aka BASICA or GW BASIC), towards the end of this page at AtariArchives.org.

Re: Under the Temple of Zeus

I suspect it is the same game for the Atari 8-bits, but I can't get an emulator running for those systems for love nor money.
It can be a bit of a pain to get Atari 8-bit programs running because some programs need BASIC enabled and others do not. The disk image I found requires BASIC to be ...

Re: What games should we include?

Jacob, don't take it as a hard and fast rule but rather as guidance, in the end I think it is how a game feels rather than what boxes it ticks that ultimately decides whether-or-not it should be in the database.

Re: Under the Temple of Zeus

Jim, I cannot find any game called "Under the Temple of Zeus" the closest I have found is Beneath the Temple of Zeus which may be the the Atari version published in Page 6 Magazine that you mention. Do you have a link to the Apple game?

Re: What games should we include?

This is a continuation of a discussion in another thread where:
Let me be intentionally provocative: why would a game which also has other gameplay features need to do more than "basic" ones to qualify?
To which I originally replied:

Re: MicroMUD for the C64

Hannes, it's getting too late for me to think coherently so I will address your question at a later date, but for starters I will state that it goes back to Jacob's original question of which games belong at CASA and which ones do not. I think we will all agree that an RPG comprising of nothing more ...
