Deadline was released 43 years ago today on Mar 11, 1982. Written by Marc Blank it was #Infocom's 3rd game. You’re a detective who has 12 hours to solve a case of a rich man who it seems committed suicide, by interviewing suspects & decide who did it. #Commodore #C64 #Commodore64

@nicholaswwhite Perfect crop too.

Yet another #C64 title recovered with McMurphy's Mansion - a text adventure game from 1984 which we think may have had a very limited release. Recovered by Genesis Project and added to the GTW archives today.

I seriously have tears in my eyes. Today, Hibernated 1 Director's Cut won the legendary Sizzler Award in the Zzap!64 magazine issue #5. The game now won ALL awards of the British 80s cult magazines: Sizzler (Zzap!64), AMTIX Accolade (AMTIX/CPC) and Crash Smash (Crash/Spectrum)!

The initial Spectrum 48K version of my new three-part text adventure, Dream Walker, is now available for download. https://t.co/iEJebvXhD0 It's still subject to change, as I work on versions for other formats. Thanks to everyone who provided beta feedback.

"I am so thankful and happy that Adventuron was able to allow me to release two completely finished games (however short they might be) in 2020. I have been programming video games since I was very little, but it has been many, many years since I actually finished one."
