Re: *ALL PHYSICAL COPIES ARE SOLD OUT*: REALMS OF QUEST V (Digital version is available)

Interesting... I prefer some features of the original, mainly the eyes. While they are less defined, they are more natural looking.

So VICE supports adding flags to the file names?

Re: First computer with cell color attributes?

Apple II didn't have cell colors.
It hardly had colors at all - the color was based on a pixel pattern.

Sounds good!

No doubt someone here has a copy...)

Re: Trader (24 Oct 2004)

Thanks for your work!
I remember looking longingly at adverts for this in Your Computer, but I never played it because it required a 175 quid 16k expansion pack.

Re: Mystery pcb??

If you did decide to use it, you should probably fix the trace break coming off the third connector pad (in the upper image) :)

Re: Scott Adams, Infocom and the VIC

Agreed! It made the games feel more like puzzles and less like adventures.

Re: Scott Adams, Infocom and the VIC

Andy Finkel at Commodore did the VIC-20 programming.
I just poked around the Adventureland cartridge contents and there's no text compression, so there's plenty of room for optimization, but it probably wasn't worth it because it wouldn't have been easy to squeeze into an 8k cart anyway :)
