I wrote this computer text adventure game for the Commodore 64 back in the mid-80's. I'm not sure what possessed me to do a google search for it today, but I did, and I found a YouTube video and someone posted the actual game files on Archive.org! What a trip, I haven't seen this thing in over 30 years! Damn, I love the internet!
This was written using an obscure C64 text adventure creator called Adventure Writer by CodeWriter Corp. (so you can blame them for the awful color scheme, lol). I think I uploaded the game to Quantum Link (and/or maybe to America Online) back in the day. It's pretty cool to see that it's floating around out there in cyberspace after all these years!
It's somewhat primitive, and there are a lot of spelling errors, but hey, it was my first effort! You can even play the game via emulator at Archive.org!
Play Kreen II on Archive.org
There was a KREEN I game also, but I'm not sure if I ever actually finished or released that one.
Now I wish I could find my old C64 QUESTRON II character editor! It was the first program I ever actually coded myself, written in Commodore 64 Basic (of course). You could edit all your stats and inventory with it. I'm pretty sure I uploaded that one to America Online. It's too bad there isn't a full archive of the AOL software library somewhere.
