Post by DarwinNE » Mon Sep 17, 2018 4:39 pm
Name: Innuh's pyramid
Author: A. Torrelli, M. Severi, DarwinNE (D. Bucci)
Released: September 18th, 2018 (first public beta)
Genre: Text adventure
Requirements: VIC-20+16K RAM, C128, PAL or NTSC
Development system: Textwrangler + ca65 + gcc + VICE xVIC + real PAL machine
Description: The Innuh's pyramid was built three thousand years ago, somewhere in the desert. Ancient tales say it is full of treasures, but nobody who dared to try to reveal its secrets could come back to tell his adventure.
I'll be your eyes and ears.
Your goal is to find all the treasures hidden in the pyramid.

Dear all, I translated an Italian text adventure in C (I published a Java version many years ago). It was originally developed on TI99/4A by Aristide Torrelli and published in the Italian magazine MCmicrocomputer 33, sett. 1984. I based myself on the ZX Spectrum version by Manlio Severi, (MCmicrocomputer 35, nov. 1984) for the C language version that I could compile with both Cc65 and gcc.
Executables are available for the VIC-20 + 16K RAM and for the C128 and the adventure is available in Italian language as well as in an English translation that I prepared a few days ago.
The parser is a little improved over the original version, but remains quite basic. It should be able to recognize phrases such as:
> take the torch
> give the torch
and that's all. In the C128 version, the description of the different places are a little more elaborate, but only the short version is available for the VIC-20 as it would not fit in the available memory and the screen is too small to accommodate long descriptions.
This is a beta preliminary release.
I would be very happy if someone can play this game on the VIC-20 and report bugs here so that I can correct them (both on the English and Italian versions of the game). If you spot typos and you want to suggest grammar improvements, I'll be very happy too
Good luck, you'll need it!
