I started messing with translating the original Mysterious Adventures graphics across to the BBC. This is relatively simple, the format has already been described by me at Adventure International Memorial. It is basically a selection of moves, draws and flood fills. This is almost trivial to implement on a Master (as there's a built in flood fill in MOS). There may be a tad more fun on the BBC.

Normally to convert from the Spectrum graphics to the BBC plot co-ordinates we'd multiply the co-ordinates by 4, which'd fill half the screen with the graphic. I wondered whether it'd be easier to multiply by 2 and have a smaller image and use this as a header. The image attached is a mockup, written in BASIC which plots the first screen, then uses text windows to place the text in appropriate places to maximise use of the screen. The screen is mode 1 and the BASIC program will only work on the Master (due to the aforementioned flood fill), but I thought it'd show how much better we can be than the other computers!
