Here is the SIGMA Experiment.
A 5-part text adventure game presented in the style of Brian Howarth/Scott Adams.
Written from scratch in BASIC simply because I wanted to.
It contains all 5 parts that have been created whilst in lockdown
Thank you very much to all my testers and players. It would not be anywhere near as bug-free if it wasn't for your enthusiasm, dilligence, and utter madness in trying to reach every hidden corner of these games.
So thank you lurkio, melchett, RodC, iamaran, fuzzel and anyone else who has had a go.
A special thanks to lurkio for doing the 4 title screens, for bug-testing the first part alone and in secret,
coming up with the insane hoax backstory that created a bit of hype for the first game, for doing a mega-crunch on part 2, which simply would not fit into a standard beeb, and for trying repeatedly to teach me the right way to use IF-THEN-ELSE (without success).
release version 3 (29th January 2021 1.30pm) (very minor change within messaging.)
Aran has uploaded walkthroughs to CASA and made some nice maps. - Thanks.
One oddity new players may notice. There is no SAVE facility.
So, although the parts are all quite short, if you need to save, then I suggest using an emulator and using save-states
Originally, the game was going to "jump" between the parts in any order, and this made SAVE a bit tricky.
Now, if you play the game from the beginning, you will play SIGMA, ALPHA, BRAVO, CHARLIE1 and CHARLIE2 in that order.
Anyone who can finish the game in 1 sitting, avoiding the hundreds of ways you can be killed, deserves a medal.
I absolutely love feedback, so if you find a bug, quirk, or anything you don't think is right - please let me know.
Lee.
