Re: Les cavernes -- TRS-80 Pocket Computer
Did the magazine ever publish corrections for their listings in future issues?

Re: Text-World
There are remnants of Mickey's ChicoSoft website in the Internet Archive, but it seems like it might take a while to locate any well archived/stable snapshots...

Re: Text-World
No, not come across that one... There were so many DOS adventure system that were created but don't really seem to have been used! Gamescape was another similar one; I think we have a single entry for that in the database.
And, yeah, that name does not make searching for references to "Text -World ...

Re: Book of the Dead CRL AMstrad VS c64/spectrum
Had a chat to the guys on the Amstrad forums, and Nich has let me know that he has a copy in his NVG archives where the first part has been replaced with the bug-fixed Rec Rec one. Download - http://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/cpc/games/ad ... okdead.zip

Re: Book of the Dead CRL AMstrad VS c64/spectrum
There are a few more bugs also in the Spectrum version.
There were definitely some bug-fixes made in the Spectrum version between the Essential Myth release and the CRL version; according to a review of the CRL version. I'm not sure if there are any differences in the version that The Guild ...

Re: Book of the Dead CRL AMstrad VS c64/spectrum
I've asked around, in various places, to see if anyone has the Recreation Re-Creation/The Guild/Adventure Workshop re-released version of the Amstrad Book of the Dead.
Just a note regarding your first post... The Spectrum version of the game is the original... Essential Myth self-published the ...

Re: Book of the Dead CRL AMstrad VS c64/spectrum
Very strange, but yes it's the same in both the commonly archived tape and disk versions.
Interestingly, Recreation Re-creation, an indie/homebrew company who ended up re-publishing the Amstrad version at one point were offering a bug-fixed version... Perhaps this was to fix the starting location ...

It's Adventuron.

A lot of us on here have used it to make games. I would highly recommend it.

Re: games related to The Dwarf of Direwood Forest
Being very familiar with Larry's work, having payed them all the Axe of Kolt and the Starship Quest series back in the day, I'd actually presumed that Run, Bronwynn, Run! was already in the site's "World of Alaric Blackmoon" group... Which is why I added the new Dwarf game to that game group. I ...

Re: R. D. Foord... type-in mystery
It's only been about forty years since I had a ZX-81.... :)
Yeah, you really do need to have a ZX-81 keymap/keyboard image in front of you when using an emulator... I would imagine any decent emulator will allow you to view one on screen. The keyword system is a very fast way to input BASIC, when ...

Re: R. D. Foord... type-in mystery
Given that the ST version of "Time Switch" was credited as being based on the ZX81 game, I wonder if R.D. Foord based his Spectrum versions on the ZX81 game too; rather than the earlier Spectrum-specific type-in!
