Upgrade Time #1: Bas2Tap is Awesome
11"Encounter" (also known as "Encounter Adventure") is an Oric game released in 1983 by Severn Software.
This is a classical text adventure where you enter text commands and the computer answers by describing what happens, where you are, items you can find around.
This is the first part of a small series of videos where I'll show how we can take an old game and improve it significantly!
In this episode I show how to load the game, export it to a format easy to edit on a modern PC, fix some bugs and annoyances, and finally how to rebuild it into a working game that can be loaded fine on the original machine.
