The High Mountains (Port from Speccy)

[jgerrie]

I have created a version of this Speccy classic for the Dragon, Coco and MC-10. It was actually ported from code for the VZ-200 version, which I found on an intersting German fan site for that computer (http://www.wolkenkratzerhaus.de/VZ/). In the course of porting the program I slightly condensed some of the descriptions and fixed some grammar and spelling errors. I also noticed what I think is a catastrophic error in the VZ version, which meant that the characters could move completely off the "grid" of the map of locations--never to return! This would effectively make the game unwinable for the alien characters, as their job is, as Bender the Robot would say, "kill all the humans." However, if some disappear completely, then this becomes impossible.

Thanks for porting these games to the Dragon, Jim.

I have added the SpeedKey routine to this game.
