10 REM It’s another game from sunteam on disk! Hooray!
20 REM Yes, yet another one where you have to change your emulator to +3 and remember the title of it to load – “remvent.ure” in this case!
25 REM (although I have converted it to .tap, so don’t worry if the idea of a Speccy with a disk drive brings you out in a rash)
30 REM Here’s a screenshot, so you’ll get the general idea:
40 REM No, it’s nothing to do with Michael Stipe’s band – instead, it’s a text adventure constructed entirely out of REM statements. Oh, my aching sides! Fetch me some Sellotape!
50 REM Although actually, in a funny sort of way, once you realise it’s not a playable game as such, it actually becomes a bit: playable GO TO 70, annoying GO TO 80.
60 REM In fact, sunteam has clearly put some thought into this, and I would go so far as to say it’s his least brain-buggeringly awful game to date – I might even play it again! GO TO 100.
70 REM A bit like a satirical take on those Fighting Fantasy books we all used to read in the 1980s, except with fewer scary monsters and more sausages. GO TO 60.
80 REM Although it’s far less annoying if you download the .tap file I’ve thoughtfully converted and play the game on a proper Spectrum, instead of one of those weird new-fangled Amstrad thingies. GO TO 60.
91 REM There is no line 90.
100 REM Download the game here (.dsk file for masochists/.tap file for the rest of us)
The sunteam are like an ideas machine gun!
Thorin got me first time, I went with my instincts the second time and survived to the end.
As it happens I was duffed up by some ruffians outside a chippy once, if only I’d played this game first…
I made the mistake of being too provocative with my sausage.
CAT “A:” will tell you what’s on the disk. It works for tapes with CAT “T:” too!
Oh, so that’s what the CAT keyword is for. I’ve only ever used it when making up crap games about cats.
