Yes, in early April I read a play-through of yours where you pointed out how annoying it was to have to go back and re-launch the .exe every time you died. So, I went back and retrofit all my previously-rewritten Adventures with state-of-the-art "Restore saved game after death" technology (patent pending).<br /><br />There are 2 adventures I don't think I touched, though: _Follower's Adventure_, and _The Last City_. Those two have the distinctions of being rewritten Way Earlier [TM], and are C++ Win32 apps rather than .NET WPF apps.Roger M.

Does the latest version incorporate the ability to restore after dying? I know you added that feature in your 2013 conversions, and I didn't think to go back and re-download the ones converted in 2012.StillGaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366215127642090500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274560874062585311.post-73590173892890679782013-08-13T17:59:17.735-07:002013-08-13T17:59:17.735-07:00Odd ... when I saved the game and deliberately let...Odd ... when I saved the game and deliberately let the warrior kill me, the "Load game" option on the file menu worked fine.<br /><br />Were you trying to use "SAVE" as a verb? I never implemented the SAVE verb in the TRS-80 original, but I did implement a "Save game" menu item under the File menu for exactly that purpose.Roger M.
