Re: Adventure Master
I expect it was better than the Gh0sterbusters game!
If you have it in Inform 6 then perhaps it could be adapted to be a PunyInform game? That way it could potentially get back onto the Atari.

Re: Adventure Master
We already had a game in the database produced with this system, so I've also tagged it.

Looks interesting. I'll do some research and add details to the database.

Re: Platform of Adventuron games
Contrary to what I said earlier, some Adventuron games have been compiled to run on 8-bit platforms such as Spectrum Next. When this is the case (not very many), this should also be included as a platform.
That is already the case. Adventuron games that run on platforms like the Spectrum Next or ...

Re: Platform of Adventuron games
All existing Adventuron games now have their platform listed as "browser".
Some games also have MS-DOS PC versions, so will also have retained the PC tag.

Re: Platform of Adventuron games
I'll take a look at the existing Adventuron entries, so please do not submit any system alterations for them. I'll sort them out soon.
I think "Adventuron" was added as a platform when Chris himself submitted a batch of games, kind of how we have z-machine as a platform.

Re: Platform of Adventuron games
(The "site feedback" section is probably the best place for threads like this)
Yes, it is something we probably need to be more consistent on going forward.
However, there are historical reasons why "PC" was chosen. Although Adventuron games now happily run in any browser, including on mobile ...

Re: Time Search
John Metcalf was responsible for digitising it and making it available. I've no idea why the various archives didn't add it at the time. I've flagged it up for Spectrum Computing to look at; so thanks for bringing attention to the fact the game was missing.

Re: Steve W. Lucas games
You really need to play the games through to determine if they're the same. You can't really judge it based on the title alone. This sounds like a project that I must return to in the new year.
Some of the solutions are identical, apart from one or two changes in names.
