Hi, Bill,

?

Perhaps your “pocket-sized Z180 computer” has arrived by now.? If so, you may be looking for something to run on it.? So here’s a quick “something to send your way”:

?

This is a reasonably complete implementation of the Adventure (“Colossal Cave”) text-based game.? I whiled away many hours as an undergrad playing it.? (I was using a TI Silent-700 printing terminal, and just fed the out-feed paper out the open window; eventually, it reached the ground from our 9th floor room...)? Once you figure out how to create a working disk image to play in, and download things onto the “disk”, you can download the game itself.? I downloaded the following files:

?

?? USQ.COM, ADVENTUR.MQG, and ADVENTUR.COM

?

then used the USQ utility to decompress the messages file , but I also included the decompressed file; also the source, and such documentation as exists (remember that .DOC files under CP/M are simple text files, not Word documents).? There are also some maps, and sources for other versions.

?

I have a bunch of other stuff, too.? If you’re interested in program development, I have Turbo Pascal (which I actually used professionally), and a really neat compiled Basic written by Jack Ganssle (embedded systems guru for a few decades now).? Also, the original WordStar 3.0 installation set – I used WordStar as my primary editor for several years, both for programming and actual word processing, on fairly large projects.? Let me know if you want any of these.

?

Cheers!
