It is now simple to export text adventure games WITH GRAPHICS to ZX Spectrum +3 and ZX Spectrum Next from Adventuron . https://i.postimg.cc/4KWndysr/1920px-ZX-Spectrum-Plus3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RNh6ncNX/8bit-a.png Previously this required a separate tool, did not support graphics, and was rathe...

The comments about inefficiency of uncompressed bitmap graphics are fair, and I did highlight the inefficiency in the original post. Maluva was not originally designed to be streamed from a +3 disk on the spectrum, but rather to stream from DivIDE SD card, which is faster and has pretty much zero si...

Hello, I recently re-made Excalibur: Sword of Kings, using Adventuron, Adventuron 2 DAAD, DAAD, and the Maluva (bitmap graphics) plugin for DAAD. https://i.postimg.cc/SjspjgwD/EI9-La5e-W4-AEYe-Iu.png https://i.postimg.cc/D8XHbH5d/EI9-La5g-W4-AEW95a.png https://i.postimg.cc/YGPDvzWs/EI9-La5-ZXs-AIc-F...

The Adventuron version, the ZX version, and the source code has been updated to address the criticisms...

There is always a need for good adventure games out there. My own bias for adventure games, are games in which there are a lot of puzzles and object interactions. I also like graphics too, but right now, any graphics you create will only be shown on the adventuron version, not the ported spectrum ve...

Looks fun. A bit flappy bird ish. Clever title too.

A new 1.0.2 version is now available at the original url, with filename "ZX-Spectrum--Escape-From-Dinosaur-Island-DX-V102.tap", which resolves the aforementioned issues, as well as a couple of others. The original version is still completable and playable, and so far, there are no game-bre...

Hi, I'm the author of Adventuron Classroom and I am making this post (my first post) to let you know that Adventuron can now be used to author ZX Spectrum text adventure games ( via a source code translator ). PROOFS OF CONCEPT There have been two "proof of concept" ports to come out of th...
