Tamurello?

Nah, I'm not Italian...

It's the bad Wizard off Jack Vance's excellent "Lyonesse"-Trilogy.
Virtually *everybody* tells how cool J.R.R. is, but others are WAY underestimated. Read it!
(And read as well Patricia A. McKillip's also excellent "Riddle-Master"-Trilogy.)

Re: Adventure games for the VIC-20?

I remember "Oldorf." It was at least 24K. Also some kind of graphics enhancement was needed. It featured neat Hires-Pics (for the time...) but a *single* word parser, since that Graphic pack won't allow otherwise. Memories are bit hazy on that though. *Oi, got curious myself! http://sleepi...

Re: Scott Adams, Infocom and the VIC

Friday afternoon, just firing up that ol' Amiga, Orion! :) And for all who know and love Scott, good news: He and his new company, Clopas, are working on 'Adventureland XL' for the upcoming 40th anniversary. Guess what? It's a text-adventure! :) Check this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LRTnek2njA4 Th...
