Riddle of the Sphinx (Lyversoft 1983)

Post by Jeff-20 »

I would really like to play Riddle of the Sphinx, but I can only find a TAP file on Arma's site. Has anyone converted it to another format? I can never get TAP files to work for me.

There seems to be four separate files in the TAP image. Would take some effort to get them to chain properly from disk.

Meh. No big deal. It's a basic game. I thought it might be related to the Atari Imagic release. It's not. It's the old "what walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night..." riddle.

I've toyed with writing a wedge that would load files from disk in a defined order. Problem is where to store it where it won't get overwritten .

That wasn't too hard to convert. Nice job for a rainy afternoon.

Thanks, ops! Too bad the screen position resets to PAL coordinates after the earthquake game. :(
