Micro Adventure Language

Anthony’s text adventure creation language. Written using TRS-80 Level II BASIC for the tokenizer and title screen editor, and using TRS-80 Assembly for the runtime. Last version was april 23, 1983.

TRS-80 Floppy Disk Copies

The original source can be found on the floppy disk copies that I have included here verbatim. I have pulled out what I believe are the final source files and placed them in the source folder. There are a few different adventures that I wrote using the micro adventure language. I placed them in the games folder.

DISK # 9 “” 02/23/81

MOON/CMD	ADVENT/ASM	ADVENT/CMD	EDTASM/CMD Sleeve say "old adventure run".  Appears to be an early rev of MicroAdv, before the basic assembler.

DISK # 10 “” 11/07/83

DSKTP/CMD	MICROADV/BAS	RUN/CMD	TAPE/CMD
PENCIL01/SYS	PENCIL02/SYS	PENCIL03/SYS	ADVDRAW/BAS
CMDFILE/CMD	MOVE/CMD	PENCIL/CMD Contains NEWSOS/80. Disk is named "AsmDevlp", but appears to be the main MicroAdv adventure development disk

DISK # 102 “Alg 1-6+Ex” 08/08/81

GOBLIN/CMD	ADVENT/CMD	ADVENT	EDTASM/CMD Looks like an early MicroAdv version work disk (All assembly version).

DISK # 121 “BADDISK” NoDate

ASTEROID/ADV	GERMANY/ADV	ASTEROID/LOC	GERMANY/LOC
GERMANY/TXT Disk labeled Bad disk, backup only. note 12-1-2023 - I can't find a copy of this disk.  Perhaps I didn't copy it from TRS-80.

DISK # 122 “BAD DISK - ADV SOURCE” 6/9/83

Directory is empty.

DISK # 123 “Micro Adv Text Files” 11/04/83 (Date from trashed disk, probably date corruption happened).

TRY/CMD	MES/CMD	COUNT/CMD	GERMANY/ADV
GERMANY/LOC	LCDVR/CMD	TRY/SRC	ADD/CMD
MES/SRC	COUNT/SRC	TITLE	DISASSEM/CMD
NAME	EDTASM/CMD This is the disk that Tracy Rockwell trashed the directory track, and I rebuilt last weekend.   The original disk has not been changed, but on two copies, the directories are fixed. Following is the new correct dir that exists on the copies.  Both the copies and the original are labeled # 123.

COMDOC/PCL Both disks #124 and #123 were in with my C-64 disks, I have moved them to the Green TRS-80 disk holder.
