[Coco] [Color Computer] Scott Adams Adventures

[James Diffendaffer]

Neil, you must be a mindreader.
That was the attraction for porting Scott Free.
Everything else I want to port results in one game but that brings in
a bunch.  If you look around you should find a few more converted to
the Scott Free format.

There is an interactive fiction project on the net that has an amazing
number of additional adventures but porting it's engine looked like a
bit of a stretch to fit in an 8 bit machine.  We shall see.

BTW, how many people here are fans of the old D&D type games?  I have
several of those on the list that I want to port.  

As I accumulate more source code I'll port more complex stuff.
