<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">A few weeks ago I found a text adventure Apple2 disk on Asimov
called Cheeziest Adventure of a Lifetime. I managed to make the game speak by copying
Textalker and replacing hello. When I tried copying Textalker load code into the
unmodified disk's Hello program, the result was the disk entered an endless "ready"

Baechler off-list, I found two points at which the game does not talk. A. When
the game ends. Control-c usually fixes this problem. B. Mid-game you are asked
if you want to call long-distance bulletin boards or sleep. The only fix I
found for this problem was turning off the virtual apple. Most of the choices
in-game do talk. If anyone i.e. Tony would like to try modifying
the game code in an effort to fix these no-talking situations, feel free.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
