Are those games available anywhere?
I have both the Basic Computer Games books (hardcopies!), and a few issues of Creative Computing, but I wasn't aware of the games you just mentioned...
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoTom may have copies; I can ask him!
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoHere's one: http://www.moondew.com/basic/ http://www.moondew.com/basic/ There's a link to a 'retro' star trek game. Not the ones I was talking about though. Tom gave me half a dozen more; I'll find someplace to put them up and provide a link.
- fractallyte 12y agoThanks! Many of those bigger BASIC games (Wizard's Castle, The Valley, Nightmare Park) were really absorbing. I still have many Commodore PET listings; pre-internet, I was delighted to find a copy of King among them - I remembered playing it, but couldn't find it in any of my books or magazines. To think... were something to happen to you (or Tom), that could have been the loss of some significant bits of microcomputing history!
