C64 Longplays: Karamba Soft Great Adventures 1 to 4
7https://www.solutionarchive.com/game/id,6127/House, The.html
On top of translating all the onscreen text into German (using Edit Screen in Action Replay cartridge 5) I also removed the location descriptions which appear with every move. Just unnecessary to be constantly reminded of where you are (the program thinks you have amnesia?).
I removed the stupid sword sprite that was stuck on the top-left of the screen in The House as it was blocking some of the text.
0:00 The House
3:19 The Temple intros
“THE GUARDIAN OF THE KEY PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN -- THE TEMPLE/GREAT ADVENTURES 2 -- SEARCH FOR HIM IN A WARDEN OF ROOMS, CORRIDORS, BATTLES, AND TRAPS.
NEWSPAPERS REPORT: THE TEMPLE - THE GREATEST THING SINCE POOL OF RADIANCE IN BASIC! - THE MORNING STAR.
AROUND THE ENTIRE FANTASY WORLD IN APPROXIMATELY 170 BLOCKS - ADVENTURIAN MESSENGER -...
I HIGHLY HOPE YOU'LL LIKE THE GREATEST BASIC COMPLEX FROM THE GREAT MASTER KARAMBA, WHO ALSO APPEARS IN HIS ADVENTURE.
HIGH SCORE SAVER, SAVE GAME, AND CHARACTER SAVE! A GOOD STORY WITH 1,000 SPARKS TO SEEK AND – MODEST – BASIC GRAPHICS! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?
THE ADVENTURE 3 WILL PERHAPS COME SOON – BUT PROBABLY ON PC – OR NOT.
SO! NOW IT'S TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE MASTERPIECE.
DESPITE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE MODULE, SEQUENCES, AND THE LENGTH, IT'S NOW BEFORE YOU. UNFORTUNATELY, THE SECOND PART TURNED OUT SHORTER THAN EXPECTED, BUT THE MONSTERS ARE A BIT SPICY AND THE PUZZLES ARE NOT QUITE EASY.
IF YOU HAVE ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE GAME OR BUGS IN THE PROGRAM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, CL2?
OK. LET'S GO!”

“HELLO GUYS! HERE'S THE DEMO FOR THE GREAT ADVENTURE THE CAVERN. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS COOL PICTURE, BECAUSE IT WAS A LOT OF HARD WORK.
THE CAVERN WAS A LOT OF WORK, SO I'M FIRST PROVIDING THE FIRST PART, WHICH IS ALSO SELF-CONTAINED.
NEW FEATURES ARE THE SAVE PLAY AND THE USE OF THE JOYSTICK.
APART FROM THE CAVERN, KARAMBA SOFT HAS PREVIOUSLY RELEASED THE HOUSE, THE TEMPLE, AND THE SHIP.
AND OF COURSE, LOTS OF ESSENTIAL DEMOS...
THE STORY OF THE CAVERN REVOLVES AROUND A SUNKEN CITY THAT PROTECTS A PRECIOUS TREASURE AT NIGHT. IN THE FIRST PART, YOU FIND THE HIDDEN ENTRANCE TO THE LOOSE, AND IN THE SECOND PART, YOU HAVE TO WORK YOUR WAY TO THE TREASURE, PRESENTLY BATTLING MONSTERS AND AVOIDING TRAPS. YOU'LL BE GIVEN A CAPABLE HELPER TO HELP YOU: KARAMBA HIMSELF!
BY THE WAY, YOU CAN NOW ORDER ALL THE ADVENTURES FREE FROM DIGITAL MARKETING!
THE CAVERN IS DEDICATED TO MY SISTER SABINE, WHO HAD TO FORGO A HOMEMADE CHRISTMAS GIFT BECAUSE OF MY WORK HERE.”
