Here's Revenge of the Toothless Vampire. It was a listing for the BBC Micro so I had to convert it as best I could.

Re: Adventure Games and Solutions, Help needed !
I've been meaning to type these games in for some time, I have the book but just never got around to doing it. I'm on annual leave in a weeks time, I'm sure I will find the time to get them done finally.Jonh wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:57 pm
15 Tunnel Adventure
16 Underground Adventure
To which you can add:
18 Castlemaze Adventure
These are all three type-ins from the book ‘Exploring Adventures on the Oric’, published by Duckworth, the book is in the DF Library here: https://library.defence-force.org/books ... e_oric.pdf
They need typing in and checking for bugs

Re: Adventure Games and Solutions, Help needed !
Thanks for letting me know! I kinda enjoy typing games in; reminds me of my childhood but It's good that I don't need to now.

Re: Adventure Games and Solutions, Help needed !
So, these are the results of my researches on the balance of Dom’s List 1, missing adventure games:
1 Balrog’s Castle
2 Black Orx Castle
These were advertised in a small classified advert in Your Computer, December 1983, just the once. I suspect very few, if any were sold.
4 Caverns of Hellville
SteveM has this on an Oric disk, we are in the process of converting it.
6 Death House
No record this that I can find, nor is it on Oric.org
7 Dracula
Advertised in Your Computer, February 1984, but sales unknown. No owners on Oric.org
8 Dreadnought Disaster
This was said to be becoming available ‘on every well-known machine, in other words the top 5/6” in an article in Big K, April 1984. There is no subsequent reference to it being available for any computer.
9 Dungeons of Intrigue
Advertised in PCW 17/3/83 and 14/4/83, publisher based in Wrexham, Clwyd. It was reviewed in PCN 9, 13 May, 1983 as ‘badly bugged’ and given 1 star! Still, at least 1 copy existed.
10 The Haunt
Definitely released and sold, but not in great numbers - someone in the UK must have this.
11 Indiana Smith
Again definitely released and sold, anyone in UK?
13 Psycho 2 / Psycho 3
Reviewed in Your Computer, March 1984 and in PCN 56, 7 April 1984. Publisher based in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Based on Norman Bates character from the Hitchcock movies. Copies clearly existed.
…unless you know better!

Re: Adventure Games and Solutions, Help needed !
Psycho 3 definitely exists since it was added to oric.org within the last year or so.
Re: Adventure Games and Solutions, Help needed !
Hi yes I did buy Psycho 3 off Ebay.
That's when I decided to stop buying overpriced software from there! Psycho 2 was sold there too, see discussion here:
https://forum.defence-force.org/viewtop ... cho#p19390
I think one of our great French collectors (Maurice) has The Haunt, but I don't manage to keep in touch with him to help transferring tapes (spare time is as rare as usual ).

I searched for the PCW ferbruary 1984 issue but could not find the listing.Notes
Was published for the Oric-1 with the title Forest of Doom in the February 1984 edition of PCW, pp. 313-317.
Published in the February 1985 edition of Your Commodore under the title The Forest of Evil.
Very similar to the game The Treasure of Middle Earth.
The Sharp MZ game, Forest of Doom, appears to be based heavily on this title as it includes an in-game credit to Steve Lucas.
The Oric version was ported to the BBC in 2020 by Leenew.
This entry is not on Oric.org...
has anyone ever heard of this adventure game ?
Re: Adventure Games and Solutions, Help needed !
Here you are - Forest of Doom (or Forest of Dom ).
Complete PCW issue #2 HERE (>550MB ).
And attached are the requested pages only (in best resolution) .
Probably I can try to OCR the BASIC code but atm I'm bit busy.

Re: Adventure Games and Solutions, Help needed !
I've just checked and sadly I don't have Forest of Doom. I'll type it in if you like, or would you prefer to?
