Title: Mystery of the Dark Manor, a 1992 Amstrad text adventure, released to Android
Post by: Mark Eaton on 02:56, 15 February 12

Hi all


I just wanted to let people know that I have ported another one of my father's games, Mystery of the Dark Manor, to Android devices. This uses the same engine that was programmed for Moonbase 3 so should provide a consistent user experience.


Mystery of the Dark Manor was originally released in the UK in 1992.


Its features include:
* Different font sizes
* Text to speech
* Speech input
* Android gestures to swipe the screen when moving in the different compass directions


Based on feedback from people I have made some updates to Moonbase 3.


As such both games now include:
* more helpful information when starting
* training video (more for those not overly familiar with text adventure games)
* autosave
* save/load game lists are timestamped and sorted by most recent saved first
* bug fixes




The demo for both games link here:

https://market.android.com/details?id=Moonbase3.demo




The full versions link here:


https://market.android.com/details?id=Mystery.Complete
https://market.android.com/details?id=Moonbase3.Complete




I appreciate the feedback people give to me on these games, it has helped make them better.




Kind regards


Mark Eaton
