orion70: I have a way to increase the amount of text that can fit into a 16k computer. It can't help with text adventures already created but can work on new text adventures if they use it. Unfortunately, it currently only has ports for cc65 and Super C, and Super C is for only the C64 and 128. It's also limited in that it only works on tokens and can't compress for you. The program is called PrintTok1 and is a way to print out strings compressed as described. It doesn't yet compress literals, but I'm working of PrintTok2, which will provide many methods to compress literals and the ability to compress automatically. I'm also thinking of providing a sort of BPE, where 16 values can act as a reference to a previous two-character block. And the strings are actually stored in memory compressed, so it would be like buying more RAM. You can find the cc65 version at https://sourceforge.net/projects/cc65extra/files/ui/ and the Super C version at https://sourceforge.net/projects/cc65extra/files/supercstuff/. I will come back with more: I have to leave now.
