Scott Adams "Adventureland" and "Pirate's Adventure" were available
in BASIC for the PET and TRS-80. The TRS-80 version was printed
in the Byte issue in the late-1970s-to-early-1980s with the
theme "Games" and a picture of pirates and other nasties creeping up
on an unsuspecting user in the foreground. If I could remember the
year, I'd provide it.
Needs a minimum of 16K (external data file required); with 24K, you
can have the data statements and the engine in memory at the same time.
Sloooow, though. I learned machine language on the PET to speed up
those games (it worked, too!)
