Problem is I can make new quick adventures. Every time it asks for me to put in a blank disk then hit enter (easy to do on the Apple //e Emulator) I get this:
TROUBLE WITH DISK.
PLEASE CHECK DISK AND DRIVE DOOR.
PRESS SPACE TO CONTINUE.
Erm have you tried a different emulator?
Looking around there seems to be issues with this thing and floppies on a variety of platforms. How many floppies does your version have? I've found a set of 6..

I went through the process to create adventure disks with AppleWin with no problem. I used a blank DOS 3.3 image created with CiderPress since AppleWin didn't seem to have a way to create one.
I told it to make a Rivers of Light Adventure disk. This causes it to basically copy from the data disk back side (called disk 4 in most collections) to a new disk. You just swap the disks several times to complete the procedure and then play it. Just like the manual says...

I don't understand where you are going wrong with your process. I just did it again, no problem. Rivers of Light disk just created with AppleWin onto a blank DOS 3.3 image created with CiderPress using the ACS images on Asimov. I don't even think it matters that it is CiderPress- it formats any disk you put in there. The cracks are fine...
I know this is not helpful to you, other than assuring you the disk images are fine.

Youre loading up ACS and creating new adventures through the ACS MENU?
I cant figure out where Im going wrong but I get squat. More interested in landsof Adventuria, spy/fantasy, and a fresh generic fantasy disk created tbh.
I have no idea if the science fiction was played but apparently it has gone through LETS ACS FINISH YOUR ADVENTURE once. Same can be said of the fantasy module as well.
Yes, "M" for make an Adventure disk.

There is something screwy with both the Cracked and uncracked version in the zip file on Asimov here: ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/adventure/adventure.construction.set-complete.zip
Using a combination of the cracked and uncracked versions, I was able to make disks of Land of Aventuria, Spy & Mystery Builder Set, and Fantasy Builder Set, since those are the ones you originally requested. I've attached them here. Let me know if these work for you.

Thanks for putting this together! It is fascinating stuff.
Do you have a sense how much is shared between the Apple II and C-64 versions? I got the sense that the engine might be similar, and now I can compare.
Stuart Smith's lead platform, I think, might have been the Atari 800, for which (I think) the first of his adventure games were released. I wonder if the Apple II or C-64 versions were the original for ACS
