Nugget's Game Pack 08 Adventure-Top-100 Aug 2020
------------------------------------------------

This pack defines Adventuring on the spectrum, with a total of 167 unique adventures spanning 1982-2020, with all the spectrum conversions of Scott Adams' adventures, the original Questprobe's, Melbourne House incl. The Hobbit, Sherlock and LOTR, Bug Byte's Twin Kingdom Valley, and many of Delta 4, Level 9 and CRL's contributions, with all the disk-only or enhanced (Level 9) games converted to be able to run from tap files on a DivIDE/MMC or to be installed onto a disk or +3e partition. The disk versions of all of these adventures have been modified to run from any drive letter, and all have disk load/save capability. disk means disk. (Quite a few of the originally disk-released adventures still would load/save progress to tapes...)

This pack includes recently released versions of The Pawn, Guild of Thieves and Jinxter for the spectrum next platform. I'm unsure whether the protection has been removed from these versions, so have included the games password lists just in case. 
As regards the other adventures, Protection when implemented (mostly on Level 9's adventures) has generally NOT been removed and the Novella or password lists required to look up the requested words are included either as a pdf or text file with the game, which could be printed for a more authentic experience. An exception to this is the Jewels of Darkness compilation which was protected by Lenslok. I altered the code in this one so that it displays the protection code in the top left of the screen without being scrambled to suit the prismatic lens. You just need to type the code into the keyboard!

You may wonder why there is 167 adventures instead of 100, and the reason is that I went way over budget, kept adding and didnt want to remove anything. I didnt think anyone would mind.....

This pack contains ALL the .tap files, which are fairly universal in that they work on pretty much anything due to their simple ROM-load nature, yet are less exciting to use within any system  that supports the .tzx format, which looks far superior due to the alcatraz-style streamed screen reveal, nice loader countdown and higher turbo loading speed. This pack includes all of these tzx files as well. (check out those pretty loaders)!

This pack also includes all the +3/+3e Installers. Loading these tapes allows installation of the game to a +3 disk or a +3e partition, from where the game will run. The games have been altered to install/run from any drive letter ("A","B",etc. through "P") and any loading or saving of game files within the game will be placed onto the same disk as the game is installed to, using a custom handler which catalogues the disk and filters available files. This in-game +3 load/save system is tagged (+3 Disk Mod).

Please contact me at nuggetreggae [at] gmail.com to say thanks or to request any of the other tzx or installer files in this project, and most of all enjoy these great adventures.
