YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!! We must have Zork! But it would need a keyboard,
and I haven't gotten to that yet. Zelda would be a lot harder to code,
but it wouldn't need extra peripherals. Or maybe it...no, it wouldn't.
I ofter forget about the console switches. :)
I've looked into it a bit and I think Zork might be feasible. I think you
could display about 250 useable characters on the screen using the 6 digit
score routine. Although I'm a little bit worried about fitting it in
128K. Just the DAT file is 90K.
I think that a decent interface could be done with the keypad
controllers. You just put a T9-ish cellphone word recognition program on
the left keypad, and keys for the most common commands on the right keypad
like "INVENTORY" "TAKE" "USE" "NORTH" etc. With a little practice, I got
to where I could type pretty fast on my cell phone.
