pirx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Another sweet text adventure game ported from C64 with sources included. The author, Peter Karlsson, wrote: Background ---------- You are going about doing your own business, when you suddenly are transported to the middle of a dark forest in a far away land. You have no idea what you are doing here or how to get out, it is your task to find out. Instructions ------------ This is a simple text adventure game. It accepts commands on the form "verb noun", for example: "take key". A full list of commands is given below. Your first object of the game is to figure out what the object of the game is, then to carry out the task that has been presented for you. The game recognises these one-word commands: * "n", "s", "e", "w": Directional movement. * "i": Display inventory. * "look": Display room description. * "quit": Exit the game. * "license": Display license terms (not in the 4k version). The game recognises these verbs, which must be used with a noun: "take", "pick up", "lift", "read", "talk to", "unlock", "open", "turn", "hit", "punch", "kick", "kill", "pour", "empty", "drink", "throw", "look at", "examine", "drop". I have added "help" command that displays the above info in a short form. To build the game type: make atari in your favourite shell. Original sources enclosed (potion.tar.gz). Atari sources in folder /potion/. Atari executable: potion.xex Have fun! potion.zip Edited January 7, 2014 by pirx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
