Atomia Akorny
| Author: | Magnus Olsson | | Genre: | Fantasy>Cave crawl | | Released: | 1984 | | Review: | This crown-quest was originally written for the Acorn Atom. The author's
documentation describes it thusly:
If you're looking for a good game, this program is probably nothing
for you. In fact, the game is almost ridiculously primitive, and the
parser is so stupid and the messages so terse that some puzzles must
be almost unsolvable without reading the source.
Seldom has an author's assessment of his own work been so accurate. The
game is of some interest, however, for how it is implemented: Olsson wrote
a small Atom emulator in C to run the original BASIC source code.
