Adventure game?

[free]

Is there any adventure game already on the tablet?

This could fit as it shouldn't be too cpu intensive.

SCUMMVM supports a good lot of adventure games.

Thanks

Works without network?
Cause sometimes I don't have internet under my rock.

Games like kings quest and curse of monkey island series are Ultimate classics, try those on scummvm. I beat those way back in the day, full of puzzles if you like puzzles. And many hilarious moments too (monkey islands). But yea other than those I think we should find some open source non emulator needing adventure games. Like Relentless!!

I can dream..

Hey, free, you should really try a few SCUMMVM games. (Monkey Island, Indiana Jones series, Gobliiins - works beautifully in the IT and it's still a lot of fun, Full Throttle - if you can get ahold of the full version).

I've even played Leisure Suit Larry on the IT, but without the USB keyboard it's a PITA.

I've been playing these few in the IT and it's incredible how well crafted these oldies goldies were.

Ah yeah you're right. I'll try this.

Leisure Suit Larry!

Thanks for the list of games.

There's also the original (_really_ original) version, from the seventies.. I remember it from the eighties when I got access to a minicomputer.

No need -- several versions of the source are available in C. It should work fine in an Xterm. Anyone care to port one?

For text adventures, you can play hundreds of commercial and independent titles with Gfrotz (The classic infocom games Zork, Wishbringer etc) as well as 'adventure' and a ton of story-based games.

For the Lucasarts games and other scumm games of course there's scummvm.
For the Sierra adventures there's a WIP called 'freesci'

Yeah, maybe so, but they're not THE original interactive fiction granddaddy of all modern computer games... Even Zork, which was pretty cool, wasn't Crowther's original Advent.

I guess we could run the Palm version under Garnet. Kinda kludgey...

I believe that is incorrect. The Original Adventure (http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/infocom/Advent.z5) is playable with frotz and hence, on the tablets.

From the URL you linked (http://www.rickadams.org/adventure/e_downloads.html), "This is the original game as written by Willie Crowther and expanded by Don Woods. ... an Inform version by Graham Nelson, based on the above TADS code. An Infocom interpreter is required to play this version."

[Alphaman]

Ha, you're absolutely correct. After a bit more digging, I found a .z5 file for the original 350 point version using frotz. Very cool!

I remember playing it on a PDP-11 at UNH right after it was written. Now I can run it on my IT 30 years later! How cool is that?

Thanks!!

Does this support the graphic versions of the Magnetic Scroll games?

Please answer me now and immediately!!! :eek:

I don't think Gfrotz or Frotz supports it. Someone tell me if I'm wrong. But you definitely can use the Magnetic (http://msmemorial.if-legends.org/magnetic.htm) interpreter (the one for DOS) and run the games in DosBox. This works but the text is kinda small. Or use the Palm version and run the games in Garnet VM in a teeny tiny window (I haven't tried it and don't know if it works). And there's supposedly a Linux version but I don't think it's been ported over to our tablets yet (I could be wrong).

[imtab]

I had a look around and found that Piero Orsoni and Luca Donaggio had ported Magnetic for the 770.http://www.opbyte.it/maemo/
There do not seem to be any updates. I was going to try Kronos (magnetic and frotz combined) on garnet but the instructions say all game files need to be on a memory card and garnet does not support these. Links to versions of Magnetic http://msmemorial.if-legends.org/magnetic.htm
I am going to try the Nintendo versions once I prise a DSlite off one of the kids.

[Addison]

I have a fairly nice setup to play all of the Magnetic Scroll games for those who still have an older, N800 tablet.

Full screen hardware key brings up the keyboard.

Once you press Enter on the virtual keyboard, it sends a Return signal then closes it.

If anyone is interested, I can package this together. :)
