Vintage Text Adventures Emulated in Windows10
A downloadable game for Windows
WELCOME to my collection of vintage dos, main-frame
and classic text adventure games.
It took months to get them all converted to run
in an in-effect dos emulated core, that runs
in modern Windows.. without just using Dosbox.
You just run the Toye emulator, and PRESS <END>
to load the main menu.
Then you select your game, PRESS the correct key,
PRESS <ENTER> and the game runs.
There has been ,from time to time, when the Emulator
crashed, but in all these games, I have not had a crash.
Some of these games have solution files located on a website
called CASA. but I wouldnt list the solutions here, so
if you want the full challenge, then you can have it.
My main goal is to see more young people get into
programming fields. So, I ask a 2.99 requested
donation for the games. I will use all of these
funds to sponsor creative high achievers , who
dont have the resources to get into colleges, and
will provide scholarships for them.
It is in this vein that you are deeply welcome to help
me fund these, our future programmers, to get into
the field, and I thank you beforehand if you do.
Lets take the games, you know you need all the games,
and especially the retro-games, and you need to play
all the games too.
<---------------------------------->
<MAIN OPENING SCREEN>
<MAN GAME LIST>
<CAVE OF RICHES>
This game is a transition away from traditional mazes
and treasure hunts towards stories with an actual plot
and cohesive locations.
Cavern of Riches does neither of these things. The game
tasks you with collecting 12 different treasures and
then dropping them off in a cabin to earn points.
<HAUNTED MANSION>
You enter a creepy old mansion, and through a
series of steps, you put together the way to get
the items needed, and escape. It is one of the funner
games that are out there.
<HAUNTED HOUSE>
You wander around a haunted house, which is represented
basically on a 5x5 grid at least 3 or 4 stories high.
In the center and around the outside of the hallways are
various rooms. You search these rooms to find a skeleton
key (to unlock doors), and I found some ornate stone that
increased my luck. In searching the rooms you will also
find hidden passageways... ONE of which is eventually
going to lead you out of the house. If there is somebody in
the room with you - it's actually a ghost.
You just have to escape, and with a little luck, you WILL!!
<---------------------------------->
I hope you enjoy these, and also, I hope to begin bringing
much more advanced games to you in the future.
With your help, that is,
Thanks, and have a great day.
