Text Adventure, Part IV
I made a first pass through, attempting to remove the interpreter from Cutthroats. My understanding of what was going on was imperfect to say the least, and the instructions were more for someone who knew what was going on. Years…
Text Adventures, Part III
In my internet travels, yesterday, I stumbled across a couple of things. The first is a set of diskette images containing the Lost Treasures of Infocom for the Apple //gs, from the Big Red Computer Club. Included are two interpreters…

MENU2 reminds me of AppleWorks, visually. When you run it it draws a file tab across the top of the screen with the prefix on the tab. If you choose a sub-directory it draws another tab under that tab with…

On MacGUI, I searched for program selector and right near the top was a disk image from Big Red Computer Club (235 ProDOS Menu Programs), full of program selectors, 10 in AppleSoft and one .SYSTEM program. There is one that…
