It's been fascinating reading New Zealand's Computer Input magazine... I've just discovered a whole batch of previously-undocumented Spectrum/ZX81/TRS-80 games & programs, several of them which are probably text adventures. Some good features on the SC-3000 in there too.
It's a shame that there ...

In addition to the SegaRetro website links above, there are some other nice photographs of SC-3000 text adventure packaging in this Retrowe Museum gallery...

Re: Untangling Dog Stars...
The Softside version was sold, by them, on disk later on.
The TRS-80 version was later republished by Misosys as part of the disk compilation Lance Micklus' Greatest Games; and also included on several similar compilations by other retailers.

Re: Untangling Dog Stars...
I notice that our existing Dog Star entry doesn't currently specifically mention the Adventure International "Other Venture #5" commercial release.
e.g.

Re: Untangling Dog Stars...
I hadn't particularly started looking at Dog Star on other machines... My initial thoughts were just to sort out the C64 side... But I guess that, alongside that, documenting all the other ports would be useful.

Re: Untangling Dog Stars...
Really useful info, thanks.
I wasn't even aware of Mighty Mormar!
The David Malmbeg version originated on the Commodore PET, I believe, before it itself was ported across to the C64 (and probably initially the Vic20). At lots of those PET games, and later VIC20/C64, floated around the various US ...

I've yet to investigate the emulator side of things. I think I read that some of the MSX emulators would do. I've not yet come across an obvious repository for the games.

I wonder if that one is a port of one of the many Egyptian/Pyramid BASIC adventures.

Ah, TTS stands for Trident Technology Systems, the publisher of some of these games and presumably that TTS Sega magazine too.
Orb of Power

Yes, Underworld of Kragon (Super-Adventure No.2 ) by Trident
