Sheboygan.png I have created a new game for the Dragon. It’s my attempt to create a Color BASIC version of the classic Board game “The Creature that Ate Sheboygan.” The original game was designed by the brilliant board game designer Greg Costikyan. It's a little like the Epyx game "Crunch, Crumble,...

Sorry, I have a minor fix for POD. In line 1120 there should be a space after the variable NT to separate it from the THEN. It’s hard to locate all the places where the Dragon requires spaces and the MC-10 does not. I have fixed it in my compilation zip, which is attached. Also added a file "SPACEWA...

I have created a port to the DRAGON (via MC-10) of the classic text adventure "Adventure A: Planet of Death" for the Sinclair ZX81/Spectrum. It is really a re-write in Micro Color BASIC. It should be fairly easily transferred to other Microsoft versions of BASIC. The file is called "POD.CAS". When y...

I've made some changes to my RAIDER.CAS program and added it to my compilation. It is sped up quite a bit, there are new objects to collect and some new sounds. Here's a vid:

Anyone going to the retro-computing festival described below? I'm looking for someone to present the 10 Line version of my Dragon game program "Overtake" (attached) for the coding competition. -- snip -- "Write a game in 10 lines of BASIC!" For the fourth time this is the motto of the programming co...

Sorry to jump the gun. I've made a few more changes to MARS.CAS.

- to how items are handled (sign, water, helmet, harmonica, lighter, etc.)
- picking up and dropping didn't keep track of the number of items accurately
- some more misspellings
- title screen
- improved the help subroutine

Two new games. A car driving game called "Overtake" and a new version of Aardvark Software's "Mars Adventure." See my viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4760&start=50#p13044

Got another 4K game for you folks. It's called "Overtake". It's a car driving game. Left and right arrows to steer. Up and down arrows to accelerate or brake. You must go faster than 150 to score points, so keep that foot on the accelerator. But watch out for broken down cars and the sides of the tr...

Anyone solved "Ultimate Adventure" by Phil Edwardson? I'm looking for a walk-through or any thoughts on its general playability.

Working from a port I did for the TRS-80 MC-10 I've fixed up "Knights and Demons" for the Dragon. I've tried to improve the graphics so its a little less busy. I've also fixed up the prompts and messages a little (Don't thing the author was a native English speaker, but he did quite well--just added...
