Tonight were going to play an #adventure from one of the classic developers #MagneticScrolls, Myth on the #C64

In order to become a member of the "Guild of Thieves" you need, amongst other things, a small dice, a card from the Bank of Kerovnia and a strong wrist, as the two disks have to be swapped about 500 times. 😊 #C64 #MagneticScrolls

A presentation I gave at the Vintage Computer Festival Europe 2023

📺 I definitely remember the owl from the opening titles of “BBC Micro File”.

In this Series 1 Episode 4 show we get more #Infocom and some #MagneticScrolls featuring “The Pawn”, which I was just hearing about last night via Retro Adventurers.

📲 I also got a tip from Ray Michno that some Magnetic Scrolls games are also available natively on iPad.

Well, going back to my notepad of text adventure game maps, look what’s on the very top of my pad! 👀

Bought! Thanks for the tip.
