Nemesis

http://www.retroarchive.org/cpm/games/nemesis.zip (manual included)

Using termdef.com we can change terminal type (VT-52 in list and works but terminal test doesn't draws correctly).

At first we need to create character (or use predefined ARAGORN) using person.com program.

Then run nemesis <character name>

After character's death file with character will be deleted.

Can we run these programs?

Can we run these programs?

I do not think so.

Those conversions are to revision 5 and revision 6 of Infocom's Z-CODE, and the interpreter that we have only handles revision 3 or earlier.

BTW, it is fun to see all of Brian Howarth's adventure games being preserved on that site ... he worked at the same company as I did for a while.

But anyway I can't run this game at IS-DOS. It just freezes.

The game's loader program overwrites some of the memory reserved for EXOS, and so crashes the Enterprise as soon as an interrupt occurs.

I have patched ORBQUEST.COM and ORBQUEST.OVL to fix that, and have put the correct terminal settings for IS-DOS into the TERM.CTL file.

The game isn't a lot of fun to play, but at least it works now.

One thing to note, is that you MUST press the SHIFT key on the keyboard to enter upper-case characters when the game wants them. Upper-case and lower-case letters have different functions in the game.

BTW, minor offtop.

As I understand, it supports z3 and z5 versions.
