Williamsbugger Assventure 3

During one of my many gaming related conversations I was reminded of the most unloved and ignored gaming device in our collection.

The Commodore C16

It is so unloved you won’t even find a picture of it on the site and most of us here at UCHG HQ deny its very existence.

But much like the Menacer I just couldn’t leave it alone.
I had a thirst for serious retro madness that could only be quenched by

Williamsberg Adventure 3!

A text game that proudly states

“Your adventures will get you shot by the police”

What more could you want? Perhaps to be chased by a butcher? Well your in luck! that’s in there too!

Things were shaping up to be quite an adventure already.

Still giddy from the excitement brought about by the promise of being shot by the police. I wired the old filthy C16 up and settled down for some serious adventure of the text based variety.

My excitement was however short lived as I was instantly reminded why we at the UCHG deny the existence of the C16.

Its because its SHIT!

After more than 10 minutes of “Searching” It just decided to break!

It took about 50 restarts before it decided to try again and proceeded to search through the whole tape before doing nothing but print the word “BREAK” down one side of the screen.

It was at this point I decided it would be easier to just read a book….
