| | Description | TRISTAM ISLAND is a text adventure made from the mold of Infocom; expect a large geography to explore, lots of prose, a rich parser, diverse puzzles, some humor and some darkness. To use Infocom's classification, I'd rate the game's difficulty as "Standard"; however, the game's design is modern and eschews all the frustrations commonly associated with 1980s text adventures. No hunger timers, no frustrating mazes, no blocking situations that force you to restart!
HOW TO PLAY
- Insert the disk in your Commodore 8-bit computer (or your emulator).
- Start the system.
- Type LOAD"$",8,1.
- Type LIST
- Choose the right version of the interpreter, e.g. type LOAD"tristam-pet",8,1.
- Type RUN
- The game then starts.
Example of inputs recognized by the game are: go east, examine sky, inventory, enter ocean, take pebble, open matchbook. Around 100 verbs are recognized by the game.
There are no built-in hints in the game (there just isn't the space!), so I encourage you to ask other players for help!
If you encounter a bug, or if a sensible command wasn't recognized, or if you want to give me any sort of feedback, don't hesitate to send me an email : hugo at hlabrande dot fr.
