The Story
In the year 1988, together with a friend of mine, I was working on a Roleplaying Game in the vein
of Ultima IV.
Back then we were only 13 and 12 years old and wrote the whole program on an
Atari 520 ST computer,
equipped with 2,5 MBytes RAM and a 16 colours display. The source code itself was in
GFA-Basic 3.x, back then
one of the best programming languages for the Atari.
It was in August 2001, that I accidently discovered an old floppy disk of mine, while cleaning up my room: covered in
a lot of dust, I have found our old program code. The wonderful Atari ST emulator
STonX then helped me to
reanimate its content and I managed to start our game, Dragon's Keep,
for the first time in more than 13 years! (Update: This year marks the
20th birthday of
Dragon's Keep.)
I was so surprised and happy about my discovery that I decided to create a small web shrine for Dragon's Keep.
Feel free to look around or download the source code yourself, but please keep in mind that neither the program, nor
the according sources and graphics are free or even GPLed. All related material Copyright © 1988 - 2008
