Microbee Word Adventure disk - ChickenMan - 11-04-2020
Thanks to kimjohn for making this original disk available to be imaged. A standard 5.25" 40tr non-bootable Microbee disk with no copy protection.
This was another disk that was not able to be imaged initially without physically cleaning the disk as per previous posts. For easier use, copy your system to the disk to make it bootable, else just run from B: drive.
In Word Adventure you follow the trails by solving problems involving Homonyms, Synonyms and Antonyms. Various creatures that you meet along the trails will give you clues to the words you seek. If you spell the word correctly, then the serpent will hiss the word that you seek. Recommended for High School students and advanced primary school students.
The disks consists of 2 main programs, Land of Lex 1 & 2 with Basic. The 2 main programs were written by John Grimley in 1983 and were later released on the copy protected Honeysoft Leaning Can Be Fun - Words disk, which is also in the Repository.
