Anthony's text adventure creation language. Written using TRS-80 Level II BASIC for the tokenizer and title screen editor, and using TRS-80 Assembly for the runtime. Last version was april 23, 1983.
- micro-adventure.rtf - document that I wrote in 1998 after recreating in my memory how the micro adventure system works.
- tokenizer - tokenizes the .ADV, .LOC, and .TIT files.
- title screen editor - Basic drawing program to create .TIT files
- runtime interpreter - Z-80 assembly code that interprets the tokens.
The original source can be found on the floppy disk copies that I have included here verbatim. I have pulled out what I believe are the final source files and placed them in the source folder. There are a few different adventures that I wrote using the micro adventure language. I placed them in the games folder.

Sleeve say "old adventure run". Appears to be an early rev of MicroAdv, before the basic assembler.

Contains NEWSOS/80. Disk is named "AsmDevlp", but appears to be the main MicroAdv adventure development disk
GOBLIN/CMD ADVENT/CMD ADVENT EDTASM/CMD
Looks like an early MicroAdv version work disk (All assembly version).

Disk labeled Bad disk, backup only. note 12-1-2023 - I can't find a copy of this disk. Perhaps I didn't copy it from TRS-80.
Directory is empty.

This is the disk that Tracy Rockwell trashed the directory track, and I rebuilt last weekend. The original disk has not been changed, but on two copies, the directories are fixed. Following is the new correct dir that exists on the copies. Both the copies and the original are labeled # 123.

Both disks #124 and #123 were in with my C-64 disks, I have moved them to the Green TRS-80 disk holder.
