+Torrax Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Here are the Master's Collection Z3 DAT files converted back to the original Z3 format (non-TI). XYZ_infocom-name.Z3 You need a Infocom Interpreter for Linux/MAC/Win/other to use them. WinFrotz works well. And may need to rename ".Z3" to ".DAT" Some games have changes and protection removed. This causes the $VERIFY command to fail. InfocomTMC.zip 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This causes the $VERIFY command to fail. InfocomTMC.zip 1.79 MB · 16 downloads Thanks for posting these files, very helpful! As a proof of concept, I modified the interpreter code that I'm working through (see dev thread) to use the native single Z3 file. (well, I used Fred's TI99Dir program to "convert "the Z3 file into a TIFILES format Dis/Fix 128 file.) I successfully played around with LGOP for 20 minutes. RESTART worked as expected and $VERIFY returned "Ok". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Trying out this version of The Lurking Horror. Login and password copy protection on the whiz-bang pc have been changed to something else. 872325412 and UHLERSOTH don't work. If it's something simple, I'm missing it. Any ideas, other than just playing the official version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I have a disk of The Master's release that precedes the LTOI. The "readme" file includes an ID/password, it's been a while but I think it is something like a login of TI with 99 or 994a as the password; I can check the disk this evening. 1 hour ago, RodLightning said: Any ideas, other than just playing the official version?

+Torrax Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 *** IMPORTANT!!!!! *** This information is NECESSARY to play Lurking Horror: When you first start the game, you will find a personal computer. What you must do when you find it to type in the following: TURN PC ON. LOGIN 99. PASSWORD TI. This will get you past the only "Documentation-Critical" portion of the game. Have fun! "The Master" There are now 11 <count 'em> NEW Infocom games ported to the TI. These include: Leather Goddesses of Phobos \ Moonmist > these 3 require a Supercart to run Seastalker / Hollywood Hijinx Lurking Horror Ballyhoo Suspect Spellbreaker Wishbringer Stationfall Plundered Hearts All brought to you by The Master... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 DOH! I tried TI for login and 99/4a among others but didn't hit on the right login as 99. Thanks for the additional info. The 99/4A Lives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
