Certain Adventurous Complications

In experimenting with “getting recent text adventures running on ‘8-bit computers,’” I found the resolve to at least try something other than programming exercises. One game using “PunyInform” caught my eye just for offering its source code as well. However, when I tried out a fresh-made Color Computer 3 disk image in the XRoar emulator, which had added support for that advanced model not that long ago, I found myself facing something I might only have noticed during spot-checks of the hacked Infocom game interpreter before. The text displayed as yellow characters on a green background; it was pretty hard to read.
