Yes, they just keep coming, while we already have a huge collection of Text Adventures for the Microbee, you can never have enough. Most of these Text Adventures were originally written for the Spectrum or Commodore 64 and had been converted, using P.A.W.S. (Professional Adventure Writer System), to run under CP/M 2.2 or 3 on the Amstrad CPC models. For these to run correctly on the Microbee, all that was needed was to change the CLS (Clear the Screen) code to that required by the Microbee. This was easily done with a hex-editor. Also, some of the games are in Inform Z3 format, so no mods are needed and they just run with the Scott Adams Z3 DAT loader.
So another 24 Text Adventure games have been added to modified EASY MENU's from Microbee (M.COM) for easy selection on these disks. The menu used on the disk is NOT compatible with a CIAB, but the adventures can run from the A> or B> prompt. The disks are all SS80 3.5" floppies so CIAB, 128k & 256TC friendly. Put in a request via the forum if 5.25" floppies are needed on these or any of the other disks.
The games on Adventure #31 are :
1. Behind Closed Doors 4 - Balrog's Day Out
2. Behind Closed Doors 8 - The Pandemic
3. Behind Closed Doors 9
4. Deception of the Mind's Eye
5. Hibernated 1 - This Place is Death
6. The Hut
7. The Revenge of Moriarty
8. The Cave of Magic: A Troll's Revenge
and on Adventure #32 are :
1. Alien Research Centre 2 - Vanilla Edition
2. Alien Research Centre 3 - Footprints In The Snow
3. From Out of a Dark Night Sky #2 - After the Dark

5. Gargoyle's Castle
6. Ice World War
7. Journey to the Centre of the Earth

2. Jack the Ripper - Part 2
3. Jack the Ripper - Part 3

8. Kidnapped
A Walkthrough for some of the games is also included on each disk. View ONLY if you really get stuck, use BISHOW (F forward, B backwards) to view them. They have not been fully checked and all came from http://solutionarchive.com.
