Hi. No adventuremania 2 is not the missing G12. Mania was the sequel to the original adventuremania by intrigue software. Later on I got into the Scott Adams adventures and thought I'd give it a go myself and wrote a game I thought was good enough to publish so asked intrigue to do it for me as they were an established company. It was them who changed the name to adventuremania 2 - that was not my idea - and it had nothing to do with the original in any way.

 

Writing in exbas limits the market even further so for my next one, alpine quest, I did it in basic. This was sold by new day computing.

 

I'm so annoyed with myself I never kept the code.

Hi stumbled upon this thread again. Did anyone ever find Adventuremania 2 or Alpine Quest?

 

Also found this containing an advert from New Day - seems Alpine Quest I did in basic (Adventuremania 2 was defo ExBas though)

P.s. Mania, that was mentioned in a previous post, is not Adventuremania 2. It may have been released as a second adventure after Adventuremania but it was called Mania and both these were in basic. Adventuremania 2 was a separate game entirely and written in ExBas only. All were released by Intrique Software.

Hi all ....... I was just wondering if anyone out there had come across any of the games we mentioned here, in particular ALPINE QUEST from New Day Computing?

 

Or any of the others too! .... someone, somewhere, might just have an old cassette with them on. Long shot but I'll probably never stop searching.

Hi all.

 

Randomly came across a post on this forum from Retrospect (http://atariage.com/forums/topic/223953-the-uk-and-the-texas-ti99-in-the-80s/?do=findComment&comment=2962813) who mentioned an adventure game he bought called Alpine Quest where he couldn’t get past the receptionist in the first location…..

 

As a teenager in the 80s I wrote two adventure games for the TI in ExBas. “Adventuremania 2” was sold by Intrigue Software and “Alpine Quest” (I’m sure that was the name) was sold by New Day Computing. I never made any money from these unfortunately but it was good fun.

 

I would be good to hear if anyone ever played these games. Even better would be to get a listing of the code if someone still has a working copy but sadly that’s probably not going to happen. I did post this on another forum about 12 years ago (wow, how time flies) but nothing came of it.

 

I recall attending a TI exhibition in Leeds in the mid 80s and Alpine Quest was on sale there. If it was my game then apologies to Retrospect that he couldn’t play it J. I don’t recall the receptionist thing but I do remember it was set in a ski resort and you had to switch between and control two characters but it was a long time ago.
