Quest Master from Miles Computing
Broken by R. Bubba Magillicutty
PROTECTION:
"Secure Wrap", which isn't. Standard text-mode doc check at the
beginning of the game. It would lock up my debugger if not done properly. I
cranked out a loader in 5 minutes, after trying to save it out for the same
amount of time. There was a small interrupt problem with the saved-out
version. And you could see all the text, and thus cheat. We wouldn't want
that now, would we? I'll go back and play with it, but in the interest of
speed I'll just release this encrypted version.
GRAPHICS: CGA/EGA/TDY/VGA
SOUND: IBM/Adlib - Sound driver required for Adlib, and you only get
opening music.
CONTROLS: Keyboard - It's a text adventure, eh?
SPAM: Yes, dear.
Yes, a text adventure, with graphics. I played with it for a few
moments and didn't get anywhere. Miles Computing generally does nice work,
but the scrolling at the beginning is pitiful. I hope the game is better.
Docs may be required to translate the stuff on one of the doors; I'll look
into it. If it seems like it's worth it, I'll put out some docs. But who
plays text adventures? A good Infocom, maybe, but this?
More greets to The Byter, and to Mobius too this time around.
