I remember going over this book constantly back in the day.

I even converted the 16K Haunted House game and crammed it down to make it fit on a 3.5K Unexpanded VIC-20.

[orion70]

I have made it in a D64 disk image. You can either play it with 22 columns, or load FAT 40 before the HAUNTED program and enjoy it in full 40 columns glory (16 and 24K required, respectively).

Here's my remark to the cross-posted copy of the type-in listing in another thread: (link)

[Kweepa]

Thanks orion70!
Unfortunately the version in the d64 has a symbol in the place of an apostrophe in many places, for example line 360. This can make it difficult to read responses.
(I think it's because the text version had autocorrected punctuation. I notice you (or someone else) fixed the backtick.)

[Kweepa]

I uploaded a version with the punctuation fixed.

Thank you Kweepa!

Thank you, Orion70 - the 40 column mode is outstanding. I have just come across the PET source code for Scott Adams' Pirate Adventure, (I know it's on the Megacart, etc...) when I have had a look at it, I will place it on a disk image similar to this if anyone is interested?.....

Edit:- It appears the PET version of Pirate Adventure is too large to run on the VIC with the 40 column mode wedge. will just have to stick with the original cart image....

[orion70]

Yep I had already tried it in the past but no luck also crunching it
