Ultimate Nightmare (Acorn Electron/BBC Micro)
A downloadable game
Ultimate Nightmare is a smallish text adventure game I originally wrote back in 1992 on my Acorn Electron. My Amiga was undergoing repair and I need a programming fix, so out came my beloved Elk for some BBC BASIC programming.
I had intended to release the game to public domain but that didn't really happen at the time. In 2002 I converted to a uef file and hosted it on my website where it sat pretty much without any interest until EUG picked it up and hosted it a few years later. I was not happy with the game I made in 1992 as I felt like it was in beta state. In 2020 I made a host of changes and am now pleased to release this much updated version.
Some of the changes made:
- Inclusion of a intro section containing backgroundand instructions.
- Graphical loading screen
- Improved load/save game error trapping
- Upper and lower case is now accepted
- Updated location description and character text
- More things can be EXAMined and explored
- Turn counter at the top of the screen
- Various typo/spelling errors corrected.
