Does anyone remember this adventure game?
I am new here, I am glad I found this place after years of hunting and reddit posts looking for a game, if anyone knows the answer it has to be here!
Back in the school days we had a BBC Micro, we had a few games but one I remember more was a text adventure that may have also displayed some graphics in the locations, I want to say written on the 5in disk was Dragon something but I can't be sure, I do remember some of the game play though.
When you get to one location there is a barrier you have either a horn or a bell, and you 'BLOW HORN' and the barrier vanishes, I never got to go much further than this as time was always limited on the computer and always wanted to finish the game.
Thanks

Maybe a trawl through http://flaxcottage.com/Educational/Default.asp will find it?
Dragon World (http://flaxcottage.com/Educational/Show ... .asp?p=351) is a candidate. I've not played this one myself but it's from 4mation who were a big publisher of educational games that were time-shared around classrooms.

Actually a good shout as it was at school it might be considered Educational, let me have a browse.

Could it be "Dread Dragon Droom"?

Welcome,
Sorry, don't think I can help with the adventure, but you can also take a look around bbcmicro.co.UK a sister site with a a great archive or the older stairway to hell.
I only remembered yesterday that either philosophers quest or Sphinx adventure have a dragon (or maybe a Sphinx)

Re: Does anyone remember this adventure game?
Yep, I checked them all, the closest thing is Blue Dragon, that's why I am unsure if the title even had Dragon or the game was mislabeled on the disk.leenew wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 9:25 amHmmm...

I looked through all adventure games on bbcmicro.co.uk, and tried a few, the closest thing to the style and look is Kings Ransom http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=1971

That looks like a Graphic Adventure Creator title.kyndigs wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 9:37 amI looked through all adventure games on bbcmicro.co.uk, and tried a few, the closest thing to the style and look is Kings Ransom http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=1971
Looking at the wiki, there was anothing title made using GAC called 'Dragons Tooth'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_Adventure_Creator
So many projects, so little time...
Re: Does anyone remember this adventure game?
Ill take a look at Dragons Tooth thanks, thanks for the lead on the creator I can explore a bit more.
Re: Does anyone remember this adventure game?
CASA only has 4: https://www.solutionarchive.com/list/pl ... %2Cdragon/
- Blue Dragon
- Dragon Adventure
- Dragon Quest
- Dragon's Tooth
Re: Does anyone remember this adventure game?
You have to blow a horn in Level 9's Saga of Erik the Viking and there's also a dragon in it.
Re: Does anyone remember this adventure game?
But I bet it's Dragon Adventure by William Stott, which I've never played but it ticks all the boxes: there's a dragon in the title, BLOW HORN is in the solution and it's for children. Unfortunately it's missing from the archive and the screenshot on CASA is the Archimedes version.
