Quest for Lubok – A constantly updated text adventure entirely written in Basic by Remington Gore!

Something slightly different for today’s retro heads up instead of all the eye candy retro games we’ve featured over the last couple of weeks. As we’ve just been contacted by Remington Gore via Twitter, that if you head on over to his website below, you can download the latest version of the open source text adventure of Quest for Lubok. A game that is being created by a hobbyist who rediscovered his love of programming, rewriting an old text adventure he wrote in Qbasic 4.5. 

Here is what the creator says about the work in progress game of Quest for Lubok which can be viewed below. “I’m rewriting my first game that I wrote as a kid all those years ago. This is just a fun little project that I’m writing it in QBASIC. It’s just something I’ve been thinking about doing for quite sometime. The original file format for QFL is that of .BAS which is the standard for Qbasic. As for what you see on here is just a plain text version, which is easy to read and to understand. A Dialog port is also available, see the Dialog directory for the source, as well as compiled zmachine and web versions.”
