That version was produced using MetroCenter84, an Inform variant, and I'm guessing the resulting Z-machine file is being played using the ZXZVM interpreter.
Ah! I saw there was a CP/M version previously available but didn't see that post with the other versions -- I've just checked the +3 version there and can confirm it runs in ZXZVM.

John has also just released amended "status bar" versions of this, Alien Research Centre 3 and Retarded Creatures & Caverns II:

Great work btw. This is a really atmospheric adventure. The puzzles are all fairly easy, but when it comes to text adventures I prefer that to tricksy ones where it's hard to make progress.

Sorry, things have been a bit manic at Sheepy Towers, so I only just saw these kind words - thank you :)

@nitrofurano, can you (or someone) explain what this is? Should a screenshot have ULAplus enabled? And how finished is it?
sorry for the late reply, and i even can't remember if i replied it actually! :D - as i can remember, ulaplus is optional just like seen from some earlier mojón twins games (like if you have ulaplus enabled, that would change a bit, just like those late konami's games for msx1 that get the palette optimized when running on msx2), so screenshots from one or another are optional based on the criteria of who is publishing them! :) - i think that the game is minimally finished because we can actually play it (i think.... ), maybe it has some bugs, i don't know - and about the game, it was a bit like adventure for atari 2600, but using a chicken and some eggs instead of dragons and castles....

Should we move on to a "New Software 2022" thread now? Poor old 2021 didn't get one. :(

New games tend to get their own threads these days. It can be harder to keep track of everything, but we have the archive for that*. The games get more attention in their own thread too. If someone wants to start a New Soft 2022 thread and keep track of everything they're welcome to though.

* on that note - a fair bit of new software is still due to be added to the DB. Time's been short but we're catching up.
