   Great stuff!

   I’ve always wanted to know how the original games were written.
   I remember playing my first adventure game on a Vic-20 way back in 1981, and been hooked ever since.

   If you have anything like this in C#, let me know.

   Keep up the good work and keep the adventure alive!!

   These were written in basic and then later in assembler. There are C ports so you may be able to port to c#.

   Writing procedural code with GOTOs was a different world. When structured coding appeared there were programmers who quit rather than give up the GOTO command – they could not wrap there heads around while loops. Everything was global then and my javascript reflects these older (but more efficient) ways of coding.

   The legendary GOTO command. Most developers these days have never experienced the delights of the GOTO command. Brings back a lot of good but old memories :)

   Is your javascript a direct port of the original source code?
