In search of William Stott's adventures (Goblin, Fairytale)

Post by BigEd »

A question came up in today's ABUG: some smallish, free, and child-friendly adventures, once freely downloadable from Shellingford School website, but unfortunately not captured at the Internet Archive.

You can see the page with the download links here:

The Dragon adventure can be found at the IF Archive, and the README tells us the author is a William Stott, active in 2004 and perhaps still known to someone?

It's also possible these adventures were part of the MUSE archive, if anyone has a copy of that:
The game was eventually distributed free to schools in the London Borough of Hillingdon, and was available from the MUSE (Microcomputer Users in Secondary Education) software library until its closure a few years later.
Edit: I see Frankie and Puppet are in the IF archive too. Search for Stott here.

Cool, thanks! :-)

Do you have any download links for the Z-code and Glulxe versions as well?

Do we know which games William Stott released for the BBC model B?

Thanks
