Murdac

Post by Alessandro »

The +3 disk of Topologika's Avon, preserved by Gorski, has another text adventure on its B side, Murdac, previously unknown save for a mention in Sinclair User issue 94, page 44. Murdac hasn't been listed on the database yet.

Cheers Ale,

This has missed this ZXDB update, which will appear in this weekend's SC update, so will be in the following err update.

I notice that the +3 disk images for Murdac / Avon, & Acheton from Topologika aren't on the website yet.

Was there an issue getting permission to include them?

I remember when we added Murdac, but I can't remember the details. Ta, will have to check.

I cannot find any mention of this game.

This is SU #94 page 44:

I can only see a Double Dragon II review there!

Background on Murdac, for those that are interested...
http://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C362/Murdac.html

Here's the Arch version...

The Murdac reference is probably in Your Sinclair rather than Crash, as this is from my collection of Mike Gerrard columns...

I'll track down the appropriate issue and page number for you...

Here it is...

Actually, it's also in Sinclair User too. In the full page review of Avon. ie.

(it's the previous issue, 93 not 94)
