| <div class="about"><span><p> | ||
| Winston M. Llamas wrote "The Search for Almazar" sometime between 1980 and 1983, | ||
| while he was an undergraduate computer science student at Rensselaer Polytechnic | ||
| (RPI). The game was written in BASIC, and apparently ran on RPI's mainframe, | ||
| alongside Crowther & Woods' <i>Adventure</i> and Holtzman & Kershenblatt's | ||
| <i>Castlequest</i>. | ||
|
|
||
| <p>In 1983, Llamas submitted a version of his game to <i>80 Micro</i> magazine, | ||
| with instructions for running it on the TRS-80 Model I or TRS-80 Model III. | ||
| A few months later, the game appeared in the SIG/M software library, as ported | ||
| for the Osborne 1 by Bob Liddelow. Liddelow had abridged some messages to make them | ||
| fit on the Osborne's narrower screen, and removed all the short room descriptions. | ||
|
|
||
| <p>This particular version of "Almazar" was written by Arthur O'Dwyer in C, | ||
| mostly following the Liddelow version (because it was machine-readable), but | ||
| consulting the <i>80 Micro</i> version whenever a bit looked particularly tricky. | ||
| (Or buggy. Liddelow introduced at least eight typos, three or four of which | ||
| were on the game-winning path.) The ad-hoc messages, long and short room descriptions, | ||
| object descriptions, and help text were all taken from the <i>80 Micro</i> version | ||
| and then edited for grammar. The intent is to be basically faithful to the | ||
| <em>intended</em> behavior of the original game.</p></span></div> | ||

||
| <p>This version of "The Search for Almazar" was created using <a href="http://github.com/Quuxplusone/Advent/">vbccz</a>, | ||
| a C compiler for the Z-machine. To play a work like this one, you need an | ||
| interpreter program: many are available, among them | ||
| <a href="http://www.logicalshift.demon.co.uk/mac/zoom.html">Zoom for Mac OS X</a> and for | ||
| <a href="http://www.logicalshift.demon.co.uk/unix/zoom/">Unix</a>; | ||
| <a href="http://freespace.virgin.net/davidk.kinder/frotz.html">Windows Frotz</a> or | ||
| <a href="http://freespace.virgin.net/davidk.kinder/glulxe.html">Windows Glulxe</a> for Windows. | ||
| Or you can use the Parchment interpreter, without downloading anything, by following the | ||
| 'Play online now' link. You'll need to have Javascript enabled on your web browser.</p> | ||
