The Dallas Quest

Post by daelectron »

I was wondering something...

I just stumbled upon this video on YouTube...

As a big Dallas fan in my youth, is it possible to take a game like this and convert it for the Dragon? The Dragon User magazines seem to suggest that it *is*, and that certain opcodes just need to be switched (which is presumably what has been done with games like Brewmaster that are available on these forums).

However, *who* is doing the converting? If it's someone reading this, would they be interested in converting this for the Dragon? Or is it not possible for some reason which in my ignorance I don't understand?

Looks pretty good. I also liked Dallas, well I still do to be honest.

Unfortunately I'm not the man to convert this, I wouldn't know how to.

Most games that load all at once are a pretty straightforward conversion: usually all it takes is modifying the keyboard scanning to account for the different matrix layout.

Unfortunately, Dallas Quest is disk-based, and as it doesn't look like it's using OS-9 it would be some major work to convert.
