- Text, graphic and text/graphics adventures
-
- PD 190: ADVSYS plus an extended version of Colossal Adventure
- PD 191: Castle of Doom - text and graphics
- PD 192: The Golden Fleece - text
- PD 193: The Holy Grail - text, needs 1 meg
- PD 275: Midnight Thief - text or text/graphics adventure by Dylan
- Thomas. 1 meg. Runs perfectly on A500+/A600 using PD 510
- PD 429: Catacomb - icon-driven, graphical adventure (NOT A1200)
- PD 508: Thrallbound - text/graphics
- PD 509: A Night at the Top - text
- PD 564: 6 Amigabasic adventures - Atlantis, Grungy Towers, Jedi,
- Ring World, Safari and Star Trek. Rather small and
- simplistic, no documentation. Comes with the needed
- Amigabasic interpreter. Plus World - V1.00 - Simple but
- neat adventure in the vein of "Colossal", but with more of
- a sci-fi theme. Has a small document. All text.
- PD 565: Zut Alors! - V2.00 - Excellent, very funny farce set in
- "musketeer"-era France. Written with "Hatrack II adventure
- generator" in a French accent! Optional mouse control and
- great documentation. Plus Life After Death - V1.1 -
- Interesting adventure, written in AMOS, with good
- documentation. There is a disturbance in the afterlife
- which can only be investigated when you're dead! You can
- skip between 2 characters. Both text.
- PD 566: Dark Staff - This is actually an emulated Spectrum 128K
- game, emulator obviously included along with full
- instructions. Not bad, considering the rather slow speed.
- (Definitely PD by the way). Plus Jungle Quest - A
- T.A.C.L. game, which includes the PADV system itself and
- all the game source-files. It's really only a glorified
- demo, but quite playable. A small doc is included. Both
- text/graphics.
-
- PD 578: Frustration - V920420/11.49/001 - Jim MacBrayne's latest,
- fully documented of course. Aunt Maude's shopping-list has
- flown away; chasing it, you fall down a strange hole. Text.
- PD 580: Rolta (Return of the living Text Adventure) - V1.0B - This
- 2-disk set is really something. It's a cut-down version of
- a shareware game, lacking one of the graphics disks and
- the SAVE/LOAD facility. However, most of the game seems to
- be there - and what a game! Beautiful graphics, great
- text, optional mouse-control, amazing menu-items like the
- 'about' box showing digitized photos of the authors....
- Great! 2 disks, £3.50 (A1200 compatible)
- PD 585: TALISMAN - ** REQUIRES 2 Mb. OF MEMORY ! ** - Another
- brilliant 2-disk set, this time a full game! Though it has
- the look of a normal adventure, the game is controlled by
- mouse only. Monochrome graphics (like digitized
- pencil-drawings - superb quality) accompany most locations
- - these are all loaded into RAM first, resulting in an
- extremely fast game. Get it! 2 disks, £3.50
- PD 625: Storyland 2 - a point and click adventure for children.
-
- PD 626: Starbase 13 - a point and click graphics adventure,
- written with AMOS. 2 disks, £3.50
- PD 653: Atlantis - Colourful, graphical game written in
- AmigaBasic. Set in Atlantis, lots of combat - the usual.
- Fans of the of the plan-view, slow, mouse-run genre will
- like it. Translated document.
- PD 654: Box plus Maths Adventure - Box, written in AMOS, is the
- second (and much better) text adventure by the author of
- LIFE AFTER DEATH. You play Doran, who undertakes the Quest
- For Residence, the aim of which is to become a God. Maths
- Adventure is a neat puzzle-style game based on solving
- simple equations. Both okay on A1200.
- PD 656: Exorcism - An interesting text/graphics adventure, in that
- it's the first example of a game written with the C.A.G.
- writing system I've seen. The action takes place in an
- old, abandoned house. 2 disk set £3.50.
- PD 657: Mystery 2144 AD - Another interesting game, mostly due to
- the fact that it's written with Microdeal's TALESPIN. A
- graphical sci-fi theme set in the near future, it's rather
- slow but could be a grower.
- PD 658: Neighbours - Yes, Neighbours, the TV-show, in a grapical
- mouse-driven adventure featuring sampled images from the
- telly! 2 disk set £3.50.
- PD 725: Battle Force and Island of Nephoton - Battle Force is a
- text adventure with a few samples thrown in, written with
- AMOS. Island of Nephoton is also a text adventure which
- runs in a CLI window. OK on A1200.
- PD 733: Mugsy's Revenge - Amiga version of the Spectrum "classic",
- written with AMOS. Poor grammar and runs slowly.
- PD 755: Temporal Misplacement - good text adventure with digitized
- graphics, written with AMOS
- PD 756: Ethos - simple graphic adventure
-
- AGT Adventures (all A1200 compatible)
-
- PD 353: AGT text adventure writing utility. 2 drives recommended.

- adventures! Requires AMOS.
- PD 576: CAG - Create Adventure Games (A500/600+ only) - V1.2 AND
- V1.3 - Latest writing utility. Written with AMOS, seems to
- be very fully featured with excellent documentation, if a
- little difficult to read due to the foreign author's
- English. He seems to be quite committed, so should be
- regularly updated. "Very like the Quill / P.A.W.", he
- claims! See also Exorcism on PD 656 which is written with
- it.

- PD 567: Antep - V1.0 - Very similar to "Legend Of Lothian", ie a
- plan-view sort of thing. Graphics quite primitive, if
- colourful. Plays like the rest of its genre. With
- documentation. Plus Larn - V12.0B - This game is hugely
- similar to "Moria" and "Hack". Lots of menu features, lots
- to do. In fact, it can get very crowded, this kind of game
- with those little graphics...... Brilliant documentation.
- PD 579: Dungeons of Avalon 1 - Perhaps the ultimate PD E.O.T.B.
- clone. Excellent. (NOT A1200 regardless of mode or

- playing and great graphics and sound! Very professional
- looking.
- PD 655: Dungeon of Nadroj RPG plus Lore of Conquest wargame -
- Nadroj is yet another Hack/Larn/Moria style game, compiled
