We've mentioned a lot of creative Jams through our time on Indie Retro News, from Jams such as Game Boy Jam, ZX Spectrum Jam and CGA Jam, but now once again we are back with another Adventuron Cavejam update! As thanks to a heads up by our good friend Chris Ainsley who is also behind the competition, not only is the Adventuron Cavejam voting phase starting, but there's lots of games to play including Mushroom Hunt, AND in light of the upcoming Halloween theme, you can also play Spooky Adventure!

Adventuron CaveJam - Adventuron (illustrated) text adventure game creation jam!

We've mentioned a lot of creative Jams through our time on Indie Retro News, from Jams such as Game Boy Jam, ZX Spectrum Jam and CGA Jam, but now we turn our attention to something slightly different. As thanks to a heads up from Chris, he has told us of the launch of the Adventuron CaveJam 2019; the first ever Adventuron (illustrated) text adventure game creation jam, adapting the provided source code (see bottom of this page) of a bare-bones text adventure, and adapting it into a better game!

The Path - Illustrated text-based puzzle game also playable in your browser

Another game released by Adventuron this month and no not a simulation, is the Illustrated Text-Based Puzzle game ' The Path '. Yes indeed it's time to put aside the sim and look towards this rather unusual game, as in the The Path you will encounter a series of challenges, containing situations and actions they may be very dangerous in real life.

Hamurabi - A classic resource management sim ported online!

Atlantis and Dragonfire weren't the only games to be ported this month, as earlier today Chris contacted us to let us know that a port of 'Hamurabi' had been released and playable online via the Adventuron itch.io page. This game according to the main write up, is a port of the classic 1968 resource management sim by Doug Dyment and is adapted from the 1973 BASIC version port by David Ahl (printed in BASIC Computer Games, 1973).
