Apparently Hamurabi was inspired by The Sumerian Game.
I played it as a kid too, but in my case it was on my iPod. I had been looking for programming apps and found a BASIC app. Turns out, it was just classic BASIC games and not an interpreter, but it was good fun regardless!
- UncleSlacky 5y agoHamurabi was the first thing I ever played on a computer, a TRS-80 circa 1979-80. The BASIC listing is here (along with all the othe Ahl games): https://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames/showpage.php?page=78 https://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames/showpage.php?page=7... There seems to be an emulation here: https://archive.org/details/hamurabi.qb64 https://archive.org/details/hamurabi.qb64
- El_RIDO 5y agoThere is an ongoing effort to port those games from David Ahl's book into modern languages. It includes Hammurabi, if you'd like to experience it on a modern system: https://github.com/coding-horror/basic-computer-games/tree/main/43_Hammurabi https://github.com/coding-horror/basic-computer-games/tree/m...
