Hello everybody, here's another previously unpublished gem from the Italian scene of the mid-eighties: "Il vagabondo del tempo" (The Time Wanderer), a collection of several simple games, loosely kept together by a plot revealed through multiple text screens.
You can download the zipped disk and and tap versions HERE. As usual, being a multi-load tape, I suggest to try the tap first. For the majority who can't understand Italian, try the single games in the disk image.
HERE is the pdf file of the 4-pages booklet which came with the tape.
To give you a glimpse of what we're talking about, here are four screenshots:
I should say, I felt a bit disappointed in discovering that it was not the text adventure I expected when I bought it in Ebay .

Sorry, I mistyped the year: 1984 is the year, Beatrice d'Este - named after a Renaissance lady (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrice_d'Este) - was the Editor, ENDA Srl the package makers, but no info about the author(s) in the package or booklet.
At least the loader says it is made by Franco Fabbri.
The game Le Mosche says "Mosquitos" in the first REM statement, and is otherwise full of REMarks in English so I would believe it came from elsewhere.
The other listings are pretty free of REM statements so hard to tell anything about it.
