Several other translations pending, and feel free to contact me if you want to do one.

I could do one in Pig-Latin.
Or, alternatively, I have a friend who speaks Gaelic rather fluently, and I'm sure I could convince him to give it a try...

Quest for Yrolg is now available translated into Spanish.

Furthermore, a number of fans have created a voice pack for it in Czech - and actually, it's a very fitting language for an evil necromancer. Available here.

Indeed. Now we also have Warthogs in Brazilian Portuguese, thanks to João Neto.

So it is! I'm amazed how few people spotted that one

Anyway, we have a new release in German: Quest for Yrolg has also been translated, courtesy of Michael Stein. Yay!

I didn't realize, that my translation has already been published...

Maybe I should check back more often.

So, for the german speech version, I'm still waiting for 2 speakers to bring in their recordings. Hope this will ever be finished, as the voice recordings that I already have are really good.

In other news, I've decided to cease development of KATA, and keep the game as it was initially released over a year ago. The game is primarily based on a gimmick, and while I think it's a fun gimmick, it's not something I consider worth spending a lot of time developing further.

Translation time again! This time, we have a Turkish version of Quest for Yrolg, courtesy of Fatih Uzun. That means it's now available in seven languages, two of which have a voice pack.

Hello. I registered today, because I would like to ask some questions about 4 old games written and / or adjusted by Radiant. The games are:

Ondergronds avontuur
Het oude kasteel
Neergestort op de maan
Tunnelavontuur

These 4 games are Dutch text-games. Can anyone help me with these games? About the first game, what do I do about the "waterduivel", the "beer" and the "panter"? About the second game, how can I get the bridge to be lowered so I can go back and drop treasures so I can get the maximum score? I have not really got anywhere in the third or fourth game and I was wondering: could anyone get me started? By the way, I hope I am not violating any rules with this post. In that case, could a moderator step forward? Thanks in advance for any answers. Regards.

I'm not sure this is the correct forum for these, but anyway.

I happened to have played this Underground Adventure not a very long time ago (the original english version, mind). Of the three things you described, one of them needs to be killed, one needs to be fed, and a one needs to be led (not necessary in this order).

As for the Tunnel Adventure, according to the same book, you have to start by going south.

I don't know about the other two games though.

Hi.

I think my English and my Dutch are both good enough, in case people are wondering.

As for the "Underground Adventure", everytime I try to attack the thing I want to kill, I get an answer like "where is he". As for the thing I have to feed, I do not find any type of food. As for the thing I have to leed, any idea how? Also, in the second game, I am almost sure I have to drop the treasures somewhere near the water INSTEAD of in the hall of the castle to get the maximum score. After entering the castle, how do I get back?

Do you, or does anyone else, have any more ideas?

Oh, this is totally the right forum! Plus I'm happy to hear that people are still playing those really old games I wrote (or rewrote). I'm afraid I don't know the solutions by heart any more, I'll have to look it up and that'll take me a few days. I'll get back to you before the end of the year, if you haven't figured it out by then. And have a great christmas!

I'm afraid the parser is not very forgiving... if I recall correctly, you kill stuff by throwing an axe at them, and you lure a creature by showing it some food. And yes, there's definitely a way out of the castle again, but I don't remember the specifics. Cheers!

Oh yeah. The bear will
The panther will
The water devil is

From the inside of the castle,

HTH!

Hi, Radiant.

What does "HTH!" mean?"

As for "Underground Adventure", where do I find the "krentenbol"? I have a torch,
matches, iron / metal pole-thing, weapon for the tree and the "waterduivel" and a rope
I do not know how to use. I think I have to use the rope somehow to get the
"krentenbol". Any ideas?

As for the other game, where is the knife to lower the bridge into and out of the castle?

Bye.

I don't know for sure, it's been to long since I write that. I can look it up in the source once I'm home again. Maybe someone should write a walkthrough for these :-)

For the Underground Adventure there's a complete walkthrough in the Classic Adventures Solution Archive. http://solutionarchive.com

I also have the map from the accompanying book but seriously who reads those before playing lol.

Hi, everyone.

I am at the point in the Dutch "Ondergronds avontuur" and I know from the English "Underground Adventure" that I should take the dynamite. What should I type at this point in the Dutch "Ondergronds avontuur"?

"PAK DYNAMIETSTAAF" does not work!
