Cavern of Riches
Our first commercial text adventure in the ridiculous task of playing all GB64 adventure games in alphabetical order. And what a great game it is!

Acid Rain (or not)
Before we begin, this is a filler post as I am not reviewing Acid Rain due to performance issues, and neither am I reviewing AAS Masters. This wasn’t really a game, as such, but an exercise in how not to write a game.
The 64-Scene-Adventure
This appears to be written as a tongue-in-cheek homage to the 64 scene and cracking groups of the 80s/90s. The language is a little fruity and dated, with some words that people may (will) find offensive, so you have been warned.
4kventure by Endurion
Another competition game and another short one, packed into 4k of code. This adventure was submitted to Reset 64 Magazine’s ‘Craptastic’ 4kb Game Competition in 2018
2604
Another short game written in the Inform 6 system by programmer Admiral Jota in 2001. This time it was submitted to the SpeedIF 17 competition. I’m playing release 1 of the game.
10Lines Adventure

The Blitz
I’ve been meaning to really seriously start learning assembly on real hardware for, well, since I was 15 really, but if I am honest I really struggle – not enough time to dedicate to it I think (that’s my excuse), and I always fall back to the CBM Basic I learned as a kid. So… Read More »
An XC Adventure – Strings Within Strings
Following on from the intro and scene setting of my previous post, this is the first in a series of XC=BASIC v3.0 features on various snippets of code and features for my Adventure Game template. The idea is to create a framework for the working engine of a text based adventure game, including most of… Read More »
