#textadventure

Despite owning a pile of the BASIC type in adventure books from Usborne in the 80's for my #ZXSpectrum I really was not into text adventures at all as a kid. That all changed when being introduced to an online MUD in 1992 when starting university, first playing, then coding on it creating a whole complex area of the map. (LPC was also the first object orientated programming language I used, before giving C a go!) When I started programming on the SAM Coupe in 1993 I did have a few attempts at adventure based stuff. First with a very simple adventure driver written in BASIC (I had yet to venture towards #Z80 machine code!) which held room info in DATA statements) then I made the start on a program to rip the room descriptions out of the LPC files I had from I had coded for the MUD. (I still have a copy of these from 30+ years ago!) I'll be looking at this more in the forthcoming Adventure section in 'SAM Revival' magazine... #TextAdventure #InteractiveFiction #samcoupe #retrogaming

one day, i would love to set up a room of TRS-80's and C64s and have a text adventure party. Is there any interest in new text adventures? are people still writing them? #TextAdventure #Commodore64 #C64 #TRS80

"To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same. Add #introductions to the post." #Minecraft #StardewValley #Terraria #InteractiveFiction, #TextAdventure #SoloRoleplaying, #SoloRPG #introduction #introductions #reintroduction #reintroductions

And lets not forget the famous Scott Adams VIC-20 Text Adventures can run on the SAM Coupe, using the original VIC-20 cartridges! #samcoupe #vic20 #textadventure #gaming

(I've also been able to re-release 'Days of Sorcery' - the SAM Coupe's largest adventure - on the coverdisk with issue 14 of SAM Revival magazine, and 'Survive the Night' was exclusive to the disk with issue 23) (All back issues of SAM Revival are available, and disk images can be provided for emulator users). #samcoupe #textadventure #retrocomputing

There's certainly some scope for a MUD to run on a couple SAM Coupes linked together via the built in network ports. Ideal fodder for demonstrating at retro shows and museums. Likewise, when we get a Telnet client for the Trinity Ethernet Interface that'll open up playing online MUDs on SAM. #samcoupe #textadventure #interactivefiction #retrocomputing
