About the Story
PLOT You’ve heard about the 8-Bit Assembly for ages: a retro Apple II computer convention where attendees stay in a university dorm along with fellow vintage computer nerds. You’ve been looking forward to it all year, and you plan to participate in everything the event has to offer. You’ll compete in silly contests, brave dubious cafeteria food and sweltering Midwest heat, and try to find a boxed copy of your favourite Infocom game. You're excited, but a bit nervous too. Rumours fly about dark magic and bizarre occurrences, not helped by the black robed figures you keep spotting around campus. Are those professors, or something more nefarious? Meanwhile, an angry throng of Commodore protestors is amassing at the front gate, and an unhinged Macintosh pirate is menacing the quad in a Bondi blue Volkswagen Beetle. Will you find a copy of Wishbringer to add to your collection, or will the campus literally come alive and start eating attendees? And did that massive statue of a bull over by the bleachers just blink?? Uh oh. NOTES This is the author's first game. It was developed in Inform 6 using PunyInform. The fictional 8-Bit Assembly is based on KansasFest, a real-world Apple II retro-computer convention. The game package includes a .z3 file for play using an IF interpreter as well as an Apple II disk image. The package also includes extensive Feelies, some of which are necessary to solve puzzles in the game.
