Level 9 Interpreter

During the 1980s a small British company called Level 9, run by two brothers (Mike and Pete Austin), produced a series of text adventure games for a variety of computers. These games received considerable critical acclaim and are probably the best text adventures written for the small cassette based 8 bit computers common in Britain in the 80s.

Level 9 wrote their games using a custom designed system known as "A-Code", which evolved from games on the 8 bit computers such as the Acorn BBC Model B, the Sinclair Spectrum and the Commodore 64 to the (then new) 16 bit machines such as the Amiga and the Atari ST.

This is the ST port of the highly portable Level 9 Interpreter, allowing you to play these text adventure classics.

Scott Free

Scott Free reads and executes TRS80 format Scott Adams datafiles. Scott Adams wrote a couple of adventures in the 70's and early 80's. These adventures are freely available on the net but they aren't freeware - if you download one of them remember that you'll have to pay a shareware fee to Scott.

If you know the DOS version of Scott Free you'll see that the Atari screen is not splitted into two text windows. I still haven't figured out how to use that %$#Ý curse library for C so you have to play the adventures in classic Infocom style fashion. This isn't such a great problem because you can scroll back in your VT52 console (VT52, TosWin2).

Milanopoly

A loose, very milan inspired version of a classic board game. Created for a game contest, never had time to add a computer opponent.
