[[Image:titleAdlan.gifjpg|right|thumb|250px|Adlan]]The ADLAN (ADventure LANguage) adventure game compiler was created by Richard Brooksby and published by [[Graduate Software]] in 1988 for the Amstrad CPC. Unlike most other 8-bit adventure systems at the time, rather than running from disk or loading into memory from cassette tape, the compiler element of the system was supplied on a physical ROM. The user would write their adventure in a text file and that source would then be turned into a machine code program by the ADLAN system. The system required an Amstrad CPC fitted with a disk drive, but it could produce both disk and cassette-based adventures. When running from disk, games could load in graphics and additional text. The system came with a demonstration adventure Bar Trek that was written by Richard Brooksby and a school friend. ADLAN is available through [https://web.archive.org/web/20220812023856/https://richard.brooksby.org/1987/adlan/ the author's website], with an image of the ROM that can be used in an emulator or burnt onto a chip for use in a real Amstrad CPC. == User Manual == [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/7/76/ADLAN_%28User_Manual%29_v2.8.pdf Adlan User Manual v2.8] == Reviews == [https://web.archive.org/web/20121012001338/http://www.stuartwhyte.btinternet.co.uk/BALROG/aa60.htm Balrog review / Amstrad Action 60] == Downloads == [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/6/69/Adlan.zip ADLAN] (ROM Source included on a due to archive.org making it hard to download from the authors site) [https://solutionarchive.com/list/system%2C59/ A list of games created using Adlan]== Link == http://richard.brooksby.org/1987/adlan/
