Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Question
  1. Wow! I'm getting nostalgic now, how do I play these great games?

    There's two ways; the hard way and the easy way...

    The Hard way: search the web for a version of the game, and then download an emulator for that machine

    The Easy way: download Scottfree, which can be found at the ifarchive and then download the datafile from one of the games

  2. Why do you have so many different versions on the web page

    There should (hopefully) be a version for each different machine, sometimes more than one; call it extreme nostalga :-)

  3. You're missing information on XYZ

    Yes I know; unfortunately there's only so much information I can trawl out of the web/files I have. If you have extra files, cover scans ad nauseum, please email them to me!

  4. How do I view the maps on some of the game pages?

    All the maps are in 'GUEmap' format - a program written for making maps in interactive fiction, for more details see the GUEmap homepage at tripod.

  5. Scott Adams? Doesn't he draw the Dilbert Comics?

  6. David Lodge? Didn't you write Small World?

    Nope; Right name, wrong person, another case of people with the same name, see above
