Revenge of Moriarty (Text Adventure)

Post by 8BitAG »

About thirty years ago I wrote my first ever design for a text adventure... and it was rubbish! The theme was good... a Sherlock Holmes mini-adventure, set in the great detective's consulting rooms, but the design just didn't work as an adventure... it had far too many objects, for starters... over 50 for just four locations... and lots of naming clashes.

Up for a challenge, I've returned to the original designs, 30 years on, and without changing too much I've managed to get them working as an adventure... Not necessarily a good adventure, but if you want to give it a go, then it's up here: http://8bitag.com/games/moriarty.html

Available for ZX Spectrum, C64, Amstrad CPC, CP/M, Amiga, and Atari ST. Produced using PAWs, inPAWs, ANTUR and DAAD.
