Many moons ago I made a door game scripting engine that read “ref files” (short for reference, I think) to control\u00a0 what the users see.\u00a0 Later, this reference file system was used as the base for LORD 2: New World.<\/p>\n

Someone asked me today for the source and as I don’t think there are any legal entanglements with releasing this, here ya go.\u00a0 (About the LORD\/TEOS\/LORD2 source, I’ve been trying to buy back the rights forever so I can legally release them too)<\/em><\/p>\n

RTReader V??? source code<\/a> (probably incomplete and can not actually be compiled, written in Turbo Pascal 6, requires Scott M. Baker’s door driver)<\/h2>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0 Does anybody perchance have the RTReader door game .zip file I distributed back in the day?\u00a0 I think it was a weird kind of “RTsoft company update and virtual interview with Seth” thing, please drop a comment if you know where to find it, thought it might be good for a laugh. My google-fu failed<\/del>.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>:\u00a0 Here is the RTReader thing<\/a> I was talking about (Thanks Jay).\u00a0 I’ve packaged it with DosBox, just click play.bat and it will run.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s just as hilarious and bad as I expected, complete with tons of misspellings and random things such as a virtual interview and a “game” that ends with a madlibs style story.\u00a0 \u00a0It calls itself “Bloody Claw Newsletter Issue 2 from June, 1995”.\u00a0 So there must be an “issue 1” out there somewhere?\u00a0 Did an issue 3 ever make it out the door? Hrm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
