Thanks Dark, but for t some reason, those stand alone Emon adventures do not
work on either of my Windows xp machines. It just locks up the computer.
But I eagerly await the resease of the emon deluxe program
Thanks
Keith

Hi kieth.
that is a question with a complicated answer.
the bad news is that the only way to play them is with an aple Ii
emulator, and those don't output screen readable text.
the good news however is that Eamon deluxe is currently in developement,
which is an eamon upgrade that will run on windows xp and is intended to
run all the classic eamon adventures. It even has a screen reader
friendly format that redoes the menues in a way that is readable with a
virtual curser.
Eamon deluxe 5.0 is currently in developement and is being beta tested by
myself and several others.
some stand alone Eamon deluxe adventures can be found on
http://www.eamonag.org/pages/eamondx.htm
If however you'd like a copy of the beta, send an E-mail to
eamondel...@gmail.com
I'd highly recommend eamon. it was a text adventure rpg system. it has a
simple parza but one which can still create puzzles without! uess the verb
or other horribleness, it has combat, companions and other fun stuff, and
adventures range from simple 10 minute dungeon hacks to full on epic
quests that take hours to finish.
Writing of course varies with the author, though some I've played have
been fantastically wr written.
Best of all in my book is the fact that you can go through multipel
adventures with the same character, gaining treasure, then coming back to
the guild of free adventurers after each outing to put your money in the
bank or even spend it on better weapons or improving your stats.
There are even people still writing adventures for Eammon deluxe today,
with three new ones produced this year, plus, frank black the developer as
he converts classic apple adventures to eamon deluxe is making several
improvements and changes along the way as well.
I'd certainly recommend it if you like rpgs.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi, I have been trolling through the
Baf's Guide to the IF Archive and have found many games that seem to be
in the
Eamon/Apple II format. Are these games playable on a Win XP machine, and
if so, where can I get the interpretor or eemulator for it?
Thanks
Keith
