jwild Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Well, come along boys and listen to my tale I'll tell you all my troubles on the ol' Chisholm TrailCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. I started up the trail October twenty-thirdStarted up the trail with the U-2 herdCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddleStarted out punchin' them long horn cattleCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. With my seat in the saddle and my hand on the hornI'm the best dang cowboy that was ever bornCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. It's cloudy in the west and lookin' like rainAnd my danged old slicker's in the wagon againCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. The wind began to blow and the rain began to fallAnd it looked like we were gonna lose 'em allCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. No chaps, no slickers and it's pouring rainI swear I'll never night herd againCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. I cripple on my horse and I don't know howRoping these long horn U-2 cowsCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. Well, I went to the boss to draw my rollAnd the boss had me fugured nine dollars in the holeCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. Well, me and the boss we had a little spatSo I hit him in the face with my ten gallon hatCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. The boss said to me, ''Well, I'll fire youNot only you but the whole darn crew.''Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. I'll sell my horse, I'll sell my saddleAnd you can drive all your long horn cattleCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea. Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yeaCome a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airshack Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I think Chisholm Trail deserves a special prize as the game with the highest degree of abstraction from its title and background story.I was thinking to myself that it had absolutely nothing to do with Texas and/or the Chisholm Trail, or cattle, or rustling, or anything at all in the published storyline. One can just imagine some Texas Tech (or A&M) grad Program Manager directing his programmers to “make that space game more Texas friendly and we’ll publish it. Good God we’re Texans after all! Our trail is way better than that Oregon Trail.” Edited February 25, 2019 by Airshack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I'm going to skip that one, since I've started to play through all SA adventures some months ago, and I remember quite well the way to get to the "yellow screen" for the last 7 games. Just working on #8: Pyramid of Doom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Anyone have a guide on playing this in emulation? Like on real iron, I'd say. You need the Pirate's Adventure cassette or disk, say "CS1" or "DSKx.xxxxx" when asked where the data base is, and use SAVE GAME to save your current state.

mdorman Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Like on real iron, I'd say. You need the Pirate's Adventure cassette or disk, say "CS1" or "DSKx.xxxxx" when asked where the data base is, and use SAVE GAME to save your current state. The attached disk has all 12 adventures on it. I launch this from mame: mame64 ti99_4a advent -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot8 hfdc -flop1 c:\disks\ALL-ADVENTURE.DSK I use the Software Lists in MAME so it knows where to find the advent cart. The Pirate adventure is on the disk as DSK1.PIRATE ALL-ADVENTURE.DSK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOME AUTOMATION Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Easy way- In Gamebase type in "pirat"... To get the other games up... click "Text only" in Game Genre. Double click the entry to start the game...Games start automatically... So wait... Sometimes the timing is off during the first launch attempt(while wini learns to cache)... exit by pressing... SCROLL LOCK... then ESC. ... and do over. Edited March 2, 2019 by HOME AUTOMATION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globeron Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 As a kid we spent days playing Adventure + Pirate Island with the English / Dutch dictionaries next to us. I will make a picture, I think I have them here somewhere. This is with Classic99: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I played and completed Pirate Adventure back in 1982 if memory serves me right. I would have preferred to try something new. How about allowing us to pick whichever adventure we want among the original Scott Adams ones? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about allowing us to pick whichever adventure we want among the original Scott Adams ones? That sounds great. I will select the winner based on points scored across the various Scott Adams adventures during the month of March. So play whatever of these adventures you like. It is really cold and snowy here in Colorado today. Perfect day for adventuring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just working on #8: Pyramid of Doom. Hi mizapf, I think with your dedication to playing all of these adventures, you surely should participate. I think if you repeat your adventuring during the month of March, it should count towards this contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Loading the Pirate Adventure like it was in 80's. Video: https://youtu.be/9EQw3fB3aNI The original dictionaries used often to play Pirate Adventure.
