Thank you and I hope you enjoy some of the games. I know not all of them are winners, but as you can tell it is a labor of love. I had some trepidation as I feel fairly intimidated by the extremely talented programmers here.

Many of the games are older with only 4 from this year, 3 of which I think ended up very playable. Exploria is my most complex project so far, I think it is about 13000 bytes of ML code. None of which was done on an assembler. But I will remind you, I am a beginner ML programmer, I still have a lot to learn.

Let me know if there are any problems, and hope you enjoy.

Glad there's a discussion thread for these games. I'm so eager to play them. Especially "Ethiopia"! I can't believe someone beat me to it. Again!

A lot of these were made in the 1980s so they're vintage homebrew.

I'll have to definitely check these out first chance that I get.

Cauldron is very interesting... I see now why the character is scratching his head on the cover!

Very nice! If there is time, I may squeeze a presentation of these games at our June FCUG meeting.

@ Jeff. I have always felt Etheopia is one of my biggest failures. I just didn't take the time to make it fun. I would whole-heartedly support your battle game idea with the Fog of War elements. Play this for ideas of what NOT to do.

@ Kweepa. At one time Cauldron was one of my favorite games. It is a bit slow because it is mostly BASIC. But again I put a lot into it. It is comprised of about 60 chained programs (I went a bit over the top here). The first 5 levels are similar (I guess 6 because you have to include level 0) then the levels vary quite a bit. Arcade and Skiing being 2 of the most unique. I hope to re-visit this sometime in the future with a bit ore ML to speed the game up, but I probably won't have the patients for 50 levels.

Exploria reminds me of Realm of Impossibility on the C64... great two-paler action.

My apologies!! I let the old domain name expire, with the intentions of eventually getting a new one. I was in no rush as there wasn't anything important there. DOH. I totally forgot about the Vic games so I quickly, set up a new domain. I'm very sorry, I will try to make sure this doesn't happen again. Anyway they are available here http://www.rufnoiz.com/aj&kj.html
