Quiet Isle is leaning more towards text adventure, with strategy / resource management playing more of a supporting role.  So I've pinched a few rows from the main hexes window to give me more space for t...

Ooh ring bound manuals! My goodness the prospect of flipping through those pages of retro joy shouldn't elicit such eager anticipation but oh boy it does!

Hi all, I'm using cbm prg studio to compile binary data files with a mixture of individual bytes and text to load into memory banks (see screenshot) When I'm using the following type:      text     'This is a string of text.' by enclosing the string in apostrophes ' ' this compiles beautifully into...

Hi all,  I've spent that much time rummaging through documentation for vera trying to find how to set things up and which blasted $9f!*'@! did what,  I thought I'd make myself a crib sheet with all the info on a single page (well, most of it!).
