Ah, compilation tapes - who can forget the pleasures of searching through a cheap C90 trying desperately to find Knight Lore and, when you did find it, fiddling about with the Azimuth Screw before you could get it to load - well no more! Please peruse the pre-made compilation tapes, well zipfiles really, below. If you have any suggestions for compilations, let me know

Matthew Smith's Collected Works

Artic Adventures (A-F)
Stunning visuals, hugely complex parser and complicated plots that will keep you puzzled for months? No? OK then, text only, and a verb-noun parser that will keep you puzzled for months (trying to work out _exactly_ the right combination to use - 'climb rope'? 'up rope'? 'go rope'?). May I present...the wonderful Artic adventures - with solutions for the lazy (85k)
