A Golden Oldie
Back in the late 1970s I spent most of my time in High School playing and/or writing computer games. Recently an acquaintance pointed me toward the source code of Swords, a game that I played back then. For the curious, that source code is here, along with a description of the game. Anyway, I wanted to play this game again, so I ported the code to be able to run in a web browser. Now you too can play below (or click the "Read More" link if you're viewing this on the front page). Enjoy!
Please report any bugs in comments. Let me make one thing perfectly clear (an expression we used a lot in the '70s for some reason): I did not make this game, I only ported it to this platform. Any credit or blame for the game itself should not go to me. The original game was by Bruce D. Turrie of Antwerpen, Belgium. The version that I played circa 1979 was by Richard B. Peterson of Milwaukee Public Schools (who probably should've credited Turrie but didn't); this revision had some different text in a few places, most of which I've used here, but in terms of overall gameplay nothing seems to have fundamentally changed.
