CoCo Text Adventures for Android
I can't get the keyboard to use punctuation, like a coma, which I believe is needed to achieve one of the escapes in Bedlam.
Pyramid 2000 still drops out in the same spot, however the old glitch is gone and is now replaced with a new one. The developer claims that this has been corrected (almost 2 years now and still doesn't work properly).
The text (light green) is too contrasting.
These are true old school text adventures, and I'm surprised how much I remember of these beasties. Yes, these are hard. If you're having problems getting around in Bedlam, I recommend taking the psychiatric profile for a clue on how to get better.

Loved these when I was a kid, thank you
Aaron, this rocks. I hope you port more CoCo stuff.
Faithful recreation of the original. Great work!
And confusing. Liked the psychological test tough
All my direction buttons are screwed up. North is west...etc. why is this happening?

Actually sold my Coco's ~1997 (when I got married), and regret not keeping one for posterity. Classic text adventures were all on my old Android but memory issues forced me to re"Loadm". Recently was just heard saying, "Where are the CoCo Games?". Now trying to remember the old clues for each game but still loving every "Minotaur" ??? Best graphic adventures were from Mark Data software and would easily make great apps. Emulations were available for PC ~late 90's - early 00's. Might be worth a look into ;)
These text adventures play great. Has the real feel with the green screen. Also has some handy features to make it easier for typing. A+++++ Keep up the great work!

Was the text incontrollable on purpose or was it a glitch that when I go south, it automatically goes west after the system goes south? (or any direction for that matter that I definitely did not key that the system automatically registers to go on its own) It's quite confusing to play and I just totally give up after 15 minutes. Thanks for the heads up in the quiz that it's gonna be difficult though, I liked the quiz. Decent text adventure for pissing people off, wonderfully fitted the term 'frustration'.
