creating a text adventure, but with what programming language?

write it in inform6 and then use any infocom interpreter on the amiga... that would be pretty traidtional, you can do pics + music but I dont know the formats...

Actually, Inform7 is out. I've been playing with it a little bit. It's an interesting approach for an (effectively) dead art form.

inform7 sucks ass. Dont know if the gui/front end is ported to amiga classic, but since it outputs inform6... but without the frontend inform7 is useless

and the inform6 compiler is pretty basic ansi c it should build just fine on the miggy if one cant find any ports of the i6 compiler.

So in saying something molests a donkey does that make that something good or bad?  I'm not real good with contemporary Americanisms...

Ahh I used to love writing adventure games with graphics (coloured character ROM graphics!) on my C64 with Commodore BASIC lol. Good memories

I LOVE the softgold + mountain valley games that used the C64 text graphics, and used the same screen layout... unsurprisingly both companies were based in Melbourne..
( like Bastow Manor, King solomons Mine etc )
