Re: Re-Archiving the Adventure Construction Set (ACS)

I'm still kicking but doing a lot less these days. Milling around playing and documenting the Magdarr series and maybe remaking the Disciples of Steel Manual. I just found my old copy of typing of the dead. Good clean typing fun.

Cheers

Re: Re-Archiving the Adventure Construction Set (ACS)

Imagination was mentioned in Fracas and ACS (probably ali-baba & heracles as well). I've slowly started spreadsheets and a word doc. It has been a while since using them so figuring a layout and copying the templates is the first step and mostly done. The only differences I've seen in the fantas...

Re-Archiving the Adventure Construction Set (ACS)

Man those release dates: Release: 1984 (C64) 1985 (Apple II) 1986 (Amiga) 1987 (MS-DOS) So, c64 was the flagship even though I swore it was AppleII. The rest of this post I might get some flak (esp the dos version as it is a pain and I had to package it the way I did rather than let others try to in...

Re: ACS: Chan's Ambition (2018)

^^^^^yes this. My Pa created an adventure called the Time Warp or something. It had monster summons on doorways, and other places. Items over filled the regions causing crashed and corruption like names that were symbols/letters/numbering jibberish. It’s pretty weird. There is a recent construction ...

Re: ACS: Chan's Ambition (2018)

I’ve been going through the original acs fantasy, sci-fi , spy/mystery, lands of Adventuria, Rivers of light and recording information and creating tilesets. I’ll have to do that for all version (appleII, dos, Amiga) but they should be similar (except tilessets). I’ll pop one of yours open as I’m cu...

Re: ACS: Chan's Ambition (2018)

Back in the mid 90s I was working on a simple castle fantasy adventure and was really interested in changing up combat weapons. I loved the idea breakage could be implemented and penalties to skill while using. I did make sure hands could be attained but I think I dropped the breakage to 0 or 1%. Ha...
