This is a BBC Micro port of the TRS-80 BASIC version of Scott Adams's text adventure Adventureland, as published in SoftSide magazine in 1980. It reimplements version 4.2 of Adams's original BASIC interpreter alongside a data-file generator, and is playable online through a hosted disc image running in a browser-based BBC Micro emulator.
How it differs from the original
Scott Adams's original program listing — including its line numbers and spelling mistakes — was kept as close to the source as possible; this port uses the earlier 4.2 interpreter, while the same author's companion Pirate Adventure port uses the later 4.6 version.
Getting started
The game can be played immediately online via a linked browser-based BBC Micro emulator that auto-boots the included disc image, with no local setup required.
