The BDB Project has recently released the two text adventures in the Murray Shannon series. These are The Seeds of Evil and The Horror of Goldmine City. These games were originally written in Italian by Bonaventura Di Bello for the C64 and ZX Spectrum in 1987. They have now been translated to English, ported to PunyInform and completely rewritten for a modern audience. In doing so, we have removed all the sudden death and most of the guess-the-verb and moon logic. The story now makes sense, things like room descriptions and responses have been completely rewritten and puzzles expanded. The feedback so far has been very positive.
If you like text adventures written in the style of Infocom, you should enjoy these games. What's more, they're free to play online or download at the links above. The z5 file can be downloaded and played in any Z-code interpreter, including the inbuilt interpreter in the Spectrum Next. There are also disk images for the following retro platforms:
