There was Adventure Writer originally by Twom Software and later by Cowen Software, which Cowen used to create their version of Colossal Cave Adventure.

I suspect that it requires a manual to get the most out of it but I cannot find one.

I've checked the latest 32-bit Windows version of XRoar on 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and 10, and the icon shows up in both instances. Unfortunately I don't have a 64-bit version of XP, nor 32-bit versions of Windows more recent than XP, so I can't do a more thorough test. It could be that 32-bit ...

Ciaran,
this is just a minor cosmetic issue that you may not wish to fix until a more pressing issue is discovered (should such a thing exist!) but the 32-bit Windows program has lost the Dragon icon. I think that the 0.35 family of XRoar was the last to have the icon.

I believe the CoCo 1 has 12V, but the later models do not.

I'm happy with the ZIP files, but I've been using XRoar from the very early days and so I am used to copying over the contents of the ZIP file, I suspect most other people using XRoar also fall in that category.

I can remember opening my old joysticks with simple brute force, since I cannot find them at the moment I cannot ...

I see that this is in DOCX format, if anyone wants it in PDF form it is also available on this forum.

P.S. I can still upload the JPEGs if wanted.

How about a real OS with a new GUI? The Dragon already has a "real OS" in the shape of NitrOS-9 , any hardware improvements should therefore be of a form that allows the "Dragon II" to use NitrOS-9 Level 2 and Level 3. Would there be a market for such a machine? Back in the 1980s the C64 and ZX Spe...
