Running a Spectrum side by side with the original TRS-80 versions, I could not find noticeable difference in the text, or the responses, at all. even down to the opening dedications. I did feel that the Spectrum character set used gave a much less tidy appearance to the screen, and took away some of the original 'feel'. PIRATE ADVENTURE Written jointly by Scott and his wife Alexis, this game starts off in your London flat, from where you have to travel to Pirate's Island. Here you have build a boat, but in order to sail to the nearby Treasure Island to collect your treasures, you first have to find and win over the Pirate! One of the easier of Scott's adventures. VOODOO CASTLE This game was written solely by Alexis. Count Cristo is lying dead in his coffin, and only by performing a strange ritual around it can you restore him to life. First you must discover the ritual and then find the ingredients necessary, before the final climax around the coffin. STRANGE ODYSSEY This is a science fiction adventure. Your space craft is crippled, and investigation of its surroundings leads you to the discovery of a strange alien teleport device. Discovering how it works is part of the fun – you never quite know at what strange place you might be deposited next, from an alien ZOO to a methane snowstorm. BUCKAROO BANZAI This was not one of the original 14 adventures: it was a one-off, co-written with Phillip Case, and was based on the Computer & Video Games - Issue #67 (1987) |
