TROAICS (Text Rooms and Objects Interactive Adventure Creation System) "Primordial version"

2000 · adventure · MS-DOS · TROAICS author

Demonstration game for an unfinished adventure game creation system from around the year 2000. Originally located at https://web.archive.org/web/20021213093748/http://www.geocities.com/troiacs/whatis.html but the download link no longer works. Thankfully, I had a backup. This demonstration game contains a few rooms, a handful of interactive objects, one inventory item with no apparent use, and a single looping digitized music track of unknown origin. Run M.EXE to start. Original description from the website below... PRIMORDIAL VERSION of the OLD TROIACS An old prototype of TROIACS I was developing for DOS 320x200. But it will show you how I got the path finding algorithms working. Scripting will be much different and much more powerful in the new TROIACS. Also you will be able to compile and encrypt them so that nobody can change/read the contents of your adventure (unless you decide to include the TROIACS source scripts). It runs a pre-made demo, only scripts are editable. Sound Blaster needed (if you run it under dos, the BLASTER environment variable must be set and mouse driver must be loaded).
