Never played it myself back in those days but if you have it available on disk then please contribute it to the STH as I personally would love to take a look (still love all those old text adventures)... <br>
<br>
It'd also be a great shame to lose even one piece of the old commercial software so do your bit to help preserve our digital heritage <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Re: Re:Pirate by Chalksoft
Hi melchett,<br>
<br>
I will upload it as soon as I have a 5.25" and 3.5" floppy drives connected to my Master Compact. I have modified the direction keys to the four cursor keys in Pirate.<br>
<br>
Original Pirate playing keys iirc,<br>
<br>
f0 - sail north<br>
f1 - sail west<br>
f2 - sail south<br>
f3 - sail east<br>
f4 - yes<br>
f5 - no<br>
<br>
My preferred Pirate playing keys,<br>
<br>
Cursor up - sail north<br>
Cursor left - sail west<br>
Cursor down - sail south<br>
Cursor right - sail east<br>
f0 - yes<br>
f1 - no<br>
<br>
Also included on the disk is a scanned picture of a ship used as the title picture. I scanned the picture with a handscanner which I bought for my BBC B+.<br>
<br>
Will have a look through my BBC software and see what other goodies I can find.<br>

Hi BBC'ers,<br>
