Amazing, I love this. Even random stars!

DO that thang!

Thanks guys. It was one of my favorites. :)

Threw this together just for grins; https://kenny46140.neocities.org/worldofarkm.html Have a good one, man! :)

Hey, that's great! :)

Aw, shucks. Will try and add more to it when I get time, cool?

Yeah, totally. I really dig it, man. :)

Couldn't find one(s) I was lookin' for right off, anyway; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B950fYobKJ4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN4pCLLCb_M

Back when a lot of commercials were actually fun or clever instead of pointlessly wasting my time. :)

Just editing so the larger pages that can't resize down don't reset mobile devices to zoom all the way out.

Arkm the Arch-Mage ROCKS that world, man !!!

Aw. shucks. :)

Golly, garsh. :)

Aw, man... MAJOR "like". Big-time. Gotta track down some Linda Carter, Valerie Bertinelli, and more... wait. I somehow locked eyes with Susan. I think she got me in a trance. She's "vood-hexed" me, dude!

Elizabeth Montgomery, Lindsay Wagner, Farah Fawcett.... :)

You failed your saving throw vs mesmerism. Everyone does. :)

Aw, Perfect! Now a "sanity loss". Hit with a "Siren's Song"! Now stuck looking at "preciouses". Not too shabby... hmmm. ;)

Was a long-shot, but I tried. Called an old friend who I'd given a copy of my Indy game to long ago. It worked fine on his C-64 then as on my Vic-20. He doesn't have it but reminded me it had more sounds, music and animated graphics which I forgot about. Plus, he remembered another game I'd made called "Basket Case" after the film. I forgot about that one, too!

That "C64 Emulator" and "WINFROTZ Z-Machine Interpreter" are somewhere to download along with all the Adventure Games. Be careful before downloading, you know. This buried folder I found has the emulator, interpreter and several games yet played for posterity. Thanks for reminding me about this, man!

Oh cool. Maybe you'll make a new adventure someday. :) I used to use WinVICE for the C64 emulator when I was playing around with learning Commodore BASIC a number of years back. I also looked at Inform 7 which is made specifically for text adventure games and to run on the Z-machine, I believe. What lang were you programming in at the time?

Considering just simple html can make adventures (you've proven that!), that's about as far as I'd go with it. Even still, I'm more the player than the DM and wouldn't wanna steal your thunder by making one here. Too time consuming for me right now. Maybe next winter. (cont>>>)

No, no... language? Dude, those games I'd made were on the Vic-20 in '82-'83(?). It was the "10 goto 20" plus the sounds and animations were just jazzed-up from the Commodore Guide's basics. A lot of typing back then... lost interest in the Vic-20... umm, "Girls, Girls, Girls". Ya catch? Those distractions, ya know. Did keep playin' D&D, Trek, Marvel, Cthulu, Mech Wars, et al RPGs with 'the guys'. But babes, man. ;)

I gotta check this out more later. I'm still diggin' that C-64 & Vic-20 'Advetnture Games' feel. Where are my old 'Choose Your Adventure' books? Oh, I know! BBL.

Yep, I loved text adventure games. This was one of my favorites on our Atari 800XL -> http://gamingafter40.blogspot.com/2011/08/adventure-of-week-treasure-island.html

Same-same! 'Cept Hitchhiker's Guide and Leather Goddess were on C64. Pirate's Cove(?) and Adventure(?) on the Vic20 which was my first comp. I made one back then and submitted it to them (via cassette). It wasn't too long, but had animations and I called it "Indiana Jones and the Riddle of the Sphinx". I think they sent me a gift certificate for that Memory Cartridge for Vic-20. You can download all those somewhere.

Oh cool. Did you save your Indy Jones game? Do you still code adventures? :) I started learning programming again back in 2012 specifically so I could write text adventure. Was going to relearn BASIC but decided on C++ instead. Still haven't sat down and made a good TA yet - too many other things to do.

Same-same, man. That damned "too many things to do" never fails! Naw, my old C-64 & Vic-20's are long gone. I dunno if they ever published my "Indy" game. Never looked. It's lost to the ether as well. I've got a link "somewhere" to this page where you download ALL those games. Gotta run for now, dude... but I'll find it, cool? :)

Alright, they are/were called WinFrotzR53.zip and WinFrotz.exe OR CCS64.exe, BUT try to find a "safe download" one, yeah? Gotta get that 'other stuff done', ACK !!! ;)

Dammer... when ya think it's a bigger world than ya think, it's really always a smaller one, huh? That is really all good.
