Hey, go for it.  Myself, I'm not really into adventure games, but new
stuff for the CoCo is always welcome.

Did you know the source code for the original ADVENT was located
recently?  Search Slashdot.   It's in FORTRAN IV, and it's pretty
scary stuff (at that point, FORTRAN proper didn't have any string
handling!) but some kind hacker pounded it into something G77 can
compile. :-)
