Revitalizing Castlequest, Part 1: Museums and Garages
My teen years were spent playing the text adventures that came in the wake of Castlequest, both Infocom classics such as Zork to BASIC programs you had to type in yourself from a magazine or library book. I won't lie - nostalgia is part of my motivation but there's more to it than that. If I just wanted to play the game, it is already in a working playable state. Similarly, if I wanted to study the code as if it was a museum piece, the original 1981 code is easily available in PDF form. Neither is a reason to modernize the code.
