I only recall seeing a demo version.
A full version of Interdictor was released. However if memory serves
it had a rather annoying colour chart protection system included.

I'm pretty sure that a full version of SoC appeared on an Acorn User

CJE micros will probably be able to sell you a copy.
Alternatively there was demo version done for one of the magazine
cover disks.

READ WRITING should have worked, unless I did something really stupid to
prevent it.
The way the "WORDS" is that the first word on the line is the keyword that
is used in the script for recognising what the player has entered, with the
rest on each line being seen as synonyms for that word.
So for a line in the words file that reads:

The adventure - I only found one that I know of, that below.
It wasn't so much there only being two of them, it was the fact that one
of them was incomplete! As a result, the only way to read the text was

Bugs? Those within the adventure, or those within Trellis? (As I discovered
when I worked on Quicksand - it's absolutely full of bugs and some terrible
programming.)
Probably just down to a lack of imagination or thought on my part at the

For a laugh, I thought I'd see how my (kinetic) RPC handled curse of
monkey island (the most complicated game it runs).
I was suprised to see that it is nearly playable. I would expect every
other game to be playable.
I'm considering playing all the Monkey Island games in order, in the run
up to the release of Chapter 5 of Tales of Monkey Island.

You can assume I put that in there to test that anyone was using it ;-)
I think I forgot to increase the Wimpslot in the new version - you'll
need to bump that in the !Run by 1-2MB.

Many thanks for this Peter. The number of games that it deals with has
expanded considerably since the version 0.80.
However, I'm seeing and immediate error on trying to load ScummVM, ie
