Thank you, Alessandro - would you mind if I adapted your post into a section in the documentation? With credit given, of course.

Re: Unhallowed - a spooky text adventure for Halloween
I just posted a quick update (1.01) which fixes a few typos and adds some new messages based on difficulties I saw people having with a few of the puzzles. There is also an updated HTML version which uses some of the more advanced features of Adventuron!

Re: Unhallowed - a spooky text adventure for Halloween
Hi [mention]Blerkotron[/mention], here's an update to the fix. This should work under all circumstances (tested by myself with ESXDOS 0.8.6).
1. Download Velesoft's .Z80 snapshot pack from the above link and copy them to your CF/SD card.
2. Press the NMI button on your interface, then select the UNHALLOWED.TAP file and press I.
3. While still in the interface menu, select one of the three snapshot according to the Spectrum model you are using and press ENTER.
4. The game will load and run as normal.
Optionally, before copying Velesoft's snapshots to your card you can rename them to 128.Z80, PLUS2.Z80 and PLUS2A.Z80 to better distinguish them in the file menu, because ESXDOS has no long name file support at this time and will truncate their names.

2. Press the NMI button on your interface, then select the UNHALLOWED.TAP file and press I.

I spent so long staring at it in the PAW editor it seemed weird to go back to the standard ROM font when I reset.PQR wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 9:08 pmThank you! It gives me great joy to see Clairsys being used.Blerkotron wrote: ↑Wed Oct 31, 2018 6:38 pm Not silly, it's a beautiful font!

Re: Unhallowed - a spooky text adventure for Halloween
At last completed this brilliant adventure, one of the best I have ever tried. Superb in all aspects, and, as an animal lover and owning 9 cats, I particulary enjoyed Shadow
Just one small note, if you go to save Shadow without the knife, you get stuck on that room...
Review soon at the blog, but it is a mega game, for sure.

Oops! I'll be sure to correct that asap, I hadn't realised it was possible to get there without it. Thanks for the report, and I'm really glad you enjoyed the game!Andre Leao wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 10:15 pm At last completed this brilliant adventure, one of the best I have ever tried.

Thank you so much, Andre - entirely unexpected and a wonderful surprise!
I guess I'll have to write another one at some point now.
