GET LAMP: The Text Adventure Documentary
Ant,
It would require a fairly intensive refactor to get it to work. The hardest part would be figuring out how to shoehorn GOTO into a modern BASIC interpreter since that command was taken out back and shot in the head -- and for good reason -- but with the memory and processor restrictions of computers at the time, GOTO was necessary because GOSUB required 4 bytes of stored information and a bit more processing power. There's also a number of functions that are exclusive to TRS-DOS BASIC and the Model III in particular.
At one point, I thought about moving the code from BASIC to Z-80 Assembler, but by then the first PC Jr. clones were out (I had a TRS Model 1000 and it was GREAT!) and it no longer made sense to continue doing anything on the Model III.
The worst loss is the database data, which was all the room and pathing descriptions, as well as part of the warm storage for the games. That's the part that breaks my heart to have lost.
That said, the sound over an acoustic coupler of an analog modem making a 300 bps connection is still makes me smile.
Do you still have them? If so, then revive for the Internet!

(if you need an update on what's changed on VS, do not, I repeat DO NOT ask gorgonheap. He still thinks this is a text only forum that he accesses through an acoustic coupler)
He thinks the movie "Jumping Jack Flash" portrays modern technology...OK I'm done.

shouldn't this be vintage?
I remember my super l33t 300baud. Actually, I hold in my hands right now a sweet 70s acoustic coupler (110bps?)... I found it by a dumpster.
