[Tom Zuchowski] The "SLAMMERS" disk was my last Eamon work in progress.
This was by far my most ambitious Eamon, with very extensive, complex
commands and weaponry, and a 400-room map. It was mostly done as far as the
first scene and puzzle set, but it is otherwise incomplete. I thought you
might be interested in the introduction and that first scene, which you can
play up to the point where you destroy the ambushers with the tank's main
gun. If it crashes in 80-column mode, try it in 40-column lower-case mode.
If the scenario interests you, you might want to pick up "Hammer's
Slammers," a book by David Drake.
This is an emulator HDV (hard drive) image that Frank Kunze made of a
bunch of special modified Eamons that he had made at one time. It should
work with emulators such as ApplePC that support the HDV format.
[Frank Kunze] My name is Frank Kunze and I have been working with Eamon
for about 10 years now (since I was 16).
The adventures on this hard drive
image are all old adventures that I converted to a snazzy, all lowercase
system about 9 years ago. When the ApplePC emulator came out I started to
put this HDV image together. I've now finally gotten around to finishing
this and thought that maybe I should release it to the general public.
All but a few of these adventures
have a MAIN PGM that I developed which has all of the Eamon version 7
features and more but runs as a version 6. This was based on an Eamon 8.0
system that I had developed.
I have also included my UNIVERSAL
dungeon editor and dungeon list programs. VERY useful tools that were taken
from my Eamon 8 DDD disk. Eamon 8.0 never made it because it was finished
when interest in Eamon and the Apple II was nearly dead. Tom Zuchowski of
the Eamon Adventurer's Guild felt that version 7 was hard enough to get
people to switch over to; and nobody was writing Eamons anymore anyway. He
was very impressed, though...
I've tested each of these adventures
to make sure they run and return to the Main Hall properly.
If you like this stuff and have a PC,
check out my Eamon Deluxe gaming system. It's even better. Eamon Deluxe can
be found on the Eamon CD or hopefully soon from it's own Web Site. [Ed. note

This is a creation that Matt Vigor made several years ago on a Windows
98 machine. It is a ProDOS hard drive image file that worked with
ApplePC emulator. It can be mounted while emulating a ][GS and contains
every Eamon that I had access to in ProDOS format. Right now the file is
in a Stuffit archive and needs to be expanded. Inside you'll find an 8MB
file called EAMON.HDV
GLOBAL PROGRAM LINE EDITOR (GPLE)
by Konzen. - Enhanced version of Program Line Editor with programmable cursor
and listing control. Edit line by line or by range of lines and search for
strings. This program considerably simplified the entry and editing of
Applesoft programs. Instead of the repetitious ESC-key cursor movements, PLE
and GPLE allowed editing to be clearly displayed on the screen as it was done.
