Description: "B-VENTURE 1.0" By: Paul Panks (dunric@yahoo.com) Website: ---> http://panks.freeshell.org/bvent.html For Windows/MS-DOS and the Commodore 64/128 and Vic-20 "B-Venture" is the smallest text adventure I have ever written, occupying a mere 2,638 bytes of RAM. The version ,as written, will work on Windows/MS-DOS and the Commodore 64 and unexpanded Vic-20 (in fact, only 436 bytes remain free). For many years, I've been striving to write the smallest possible text adventure. I remember picking an arbitrary number, but for purposes of my failed memory I believe 4K was the limit I set for myself. Once that was achieved, I went about writing a game in under 3K. I tried getting it below 2.5K of RAM, but some game features would have had to disappear, which I thankfully did not wish to see happen. The game is remarkably large for such a small program, spanning nearly 20 full rooms, with a forest, castle, meadow, lake, town and even a tree you can climb (where a small hut rests atop a branch). The game verbs include GO,GET,DROP,USE,INVENTORY,LOOK and others. There is even a fighting mode where the player can engage other monsters in battle. Although the game is too small to include statistics for the player, winning each battle raises the player hit points by 99 with each victory. Items such as the ARMOR, CLOAK and HELMET protect the player during battle. There is even a SWORD the player can wield while engaged in combat. Did I mention I squeezed all of this into only 2,638 bytes of RAM? The goal of B-Venture 1.0 is to defeat an evil vampire residing within the castle. The castle is guarded by a hellish werewolf with fiery eyes and a mean streak. The rest of the adventure is populated by a few other creatures, as well as several items the player can use (e.g. armor, equipment, etc.) Posted by: Blacklord October 07, 2024, 09:58 AM Rating: This download has not been rated yet.
