New adventure game: The Job
New adventure game: The Job
I released a small adventure game for several platforms. The Acorn port uses SteveFs excellent Ozmoo port ( https://zornslemma.github.io/ozmoo.html ) and can be played on a BBC B, B+ or Master or Acorn Electron.
The playing time is probably 1-2 hours. The game has a built-in hint menu which gives vague clues at first and then less vague, not forcing you to see more than necessary.

Re: New adventure game: The Job
great, glad to see a version of Z for 8bit acorn being developed.
How much memory can you use at maximum (I suppose for mode 7 screens)? And (much more important) could it play Zork on the BBC B?

Re: New adventure game: The Job
Yes, it can run Zork, and much more besides! Acorn Ozmoo will use any available Sideways RAM, Shadow RAM, and Second Processor RAM. It will also use virtual memory on disc. It’s a modern miracle! Huge kudos to Fredrik and SteveF!nicolagiacobbe wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 8:19 pm glad to see a version of Z for 8bit acorn being developed.

FWIW, I'd love to see a few more ratings of the game on IFDB ( https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=g5rflxpmycdl67ps ), from people who have played the game, no matter how good the ratings are. Really.

A couple of people wrote some kind words about my (unfinished) submission, I really must get round to finishing it!
Re: New adventure game: The Job
You should, yes! I enjoyed it, even though I didn't get very far.Dave Footitt wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 12:01 pmThanks for posting that, Fredrik.fredrikr wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 5:06 pm FWIW, I'd love to see a few more ratings of the game on IFDB: https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=g5rflxpmycdl67ps , no matter how good the ratings are.
