Overview
We don't typically deal with hacks, but this one we found very worthy of a physical release. It is harder and much bigger than the original Adventure game. The catacombs in the cave take a while to figure out, and with over 100 rooms, there are a lot of places to look when searching for a needed object. The dragons have hit points; it takes several tries to kill one and things can get interesting fast with five of them roaming the kingdom.
The randomizing routine in the original version did not separate the objects very well, and there was a screen roll issue when played on original hardware; both of which have been addressed. The room connections have been moved around in an attempt to make the bat and the dragons move more freely about the kingdom. A warp room has been added and the fractured tunnels were changed into a forest to improve mobility. You can tell what forest you are in by the color of the trees. Two rooms have been added - a lake and a pyramid.
The object is to find princess Penelope and bring her back to the Emerald Palace. She is locked away in one of the 3 original castles or the cave. The red key opens the cave, the Emerald Palace, and the red castle. There are 5 dragons. A blue dragon named Bargle is intorduced, as well as a baby dragon named Squeak. Every game is winnable. The keys should not appear randomly in places where you cant get to them. There are no secret rooms beyond the solid lines. There is one room that you can only get into with the bridge. The bat can pick up the original three dragons, but not the other two. Bargle likes to guard the red key. The magnet does not attract the princess, but it will attract the red key. The magnet only works when it is on the screen. Plus more!!
