Gamebook Adventure Reader (ZX Next)

This little program for the ZX Next let you "replay" the wonderful "What-do-I-do-now"-adventure-book series written by Steve Meretzky and released by Infocom in the mid 1980ies - and unfortunately out of print since then. I mainly wrote this game engine for the ZX Spectrum to get back into writing software for old 8-bit computers (that's why I heavily used Spectrum Basic) and I also tried to use the technical advantages of the ZXNext (like real 256 colors and direct file access to the SD card). Another motivation was to give anyone the possibility, to enjoy this great Adventure-Gamebook-Expierence, like I did back then. And since the syntax of the book-script is quite simple, you're of course welcome to use your fantasy and write your own adventure gamebook :)So far I only transformed two of the four books: - "Zork 1: The forces of Krill" (available in English and German)- "Zork 2: The Malifesto Quest" (available only in English)But other might join in the near future... I also adapted and colored the graphics from the first book and I'm currently reworking the graphics of the second book.Finally I have to thank Mr. Steve Meretzky in giving me permission to transform and add the Zork books to my Gamebook Adventure Reader Engine.
