Infocom Trinity for 128

[Golan Klinger]

There aren't many commercial games for the 128 and the few that were released don't come up often so I figured this was worthy of mentioning...

Infocom Trinity Game for Commodore 128 C128 Complete

Disclaimer: Not mine.

Has anyone here played this?  Is it any good?

Andrew, weren't you paying attention, there? IT'S FRIGGIN' INFOCOM!!!

I didn't give it a rating in INFO, but I described it as "a weird combination of historical accuracy and Alice in Wonderland as you travel through time to experience A-bomb blasts!"

BTW, I know the disk image is out there online, but as with all later Infocom fare, part of the experience is the boxful of crap that comes with it, as per the eBay photos.

I think the BIN is fair given that it appears complete.

BTW, is anyone having a problem with that URL? This is the second time I've encountered a URL that didn't work because something (the forum software, I presume) is adding "http://ads.auctionads.com/pagead/link_9dfe150069a1d74ad197_0_" to the front of the URL. It's driving me nuts.

Found a PDF copy of the Trinity manual here:

When it rains, it pours. The same seller has put up auctions for Bureaucracy and A Mind Forever Voyaging. Not a bad way to kick off a collection of 128 games...

It worked fine for me.

I'm getting that prefix, too. I had a problem with the first link you mentioned in the other thread, but not this one. Of course, if you copy the link and strip out the 'auctionads' part it works faster.

BTW, if you back up a squidge on that documentation link I posted above, to http://infodoc.plover.net/manuals/ , you'll see a list of many Infocom documents, including the ones for Bureaucracy and A Mind Forever Voyaging.

And just for the sake of completeness, and for those who don't already know, you can download the C128 games mentioned above (and many more) at:

The software *shouldn't* be adding the auction ads crap, although I do have a mod that is supposed to do some fancy crap with eBay ads - I've just removed it, so let's see if that was the culprit....

Link to one of my auctions - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=110296257862

Might have done the trick......

Sorted. I don't think the loss of the thumbnails is a big deal.

I know we have one package in storage.  With your description of it, maybe I should try it out!

Agreed.  In fact, I found that particluar "feature" to be a bit annoying.  Doing away with it, in my book, is an improvement.
