[Announce] Mini-Adventure Demo Games Released for Inform

Archived from groups: rec.arts.int-fiction,rec.games.int-fiction (More info?)

Hi,

I would like to announce the release of the Mini-Adventure Demonstration
Games Collection. A collection of demo games from the Mini-Adventure
authoring system, re-engineered for Inform using a new cross-compiler
tool developed specifically for the purpose.

Mini-Adventure was an interactive fiction authoring system for the Acorn
Electron and BBC Micro, later ported to RISC OS and then Inform.
Mini-Adventure was written specifically for young children to use in
schools back in the early nineteen-nineties. I have no plans to
re-release the authoring system.

The included demo games are:

Enchanted Castle, Graveyard Escape, House, Prison, Quest for the Holy
Grail, Secret Maze, Secret Maze II and Shack.

These games are mostly nothing special and are more suitable as
temporary diversions. However, there are a few good games in there; look
out for House and Graveyard Escape.

All the games follow the same formulae, find treasures, avoid hazards
and win before your time runs out. Any object--even a key--might be a key.

The complete Inform source code and the original Mini-Adventure
source are included in the archive.

The games were cross-compiled to Inform using a cross-compiler tool
which may become available in the future. The cross-compiler is
extensible and very useful for rapid game prototyping.

Thanks and enjoy!
Jon Ripley
