Classic Adventure Game Creation Book Online

Posted by simoniker on from the creating-colossal-caves dept.

The classic computer site Atariarchives.org has managed to secure permission from the copyright holder to publish the text of Tim Hartnell's 1983-published Creating Adventure Games On Your Computer on their site. The system requirements for the actual programming may be a little harsh for many of you, though - you'll need a computer with Basic and at least 24K of RAM.

    "you'll need a computer with Basic and at least 24K of RAM."
    Ok, Let's see here....

    24K of RAM - Check, I have 256MB... should be enough (for anyone!).
    BASIC, hmmm..... (clicks XP start menu) er, ah crap.

    Come back, Extended Color BASIC, all is forgiven! I miss my old COCO 2 sometimes :-(

    You are in a twisty maze of processor lines, all alike.
    There is a lot of hype here.
