Hi, it was a technical knowledge restriction at the time of developing the game using SEUD. We had to jump through a few hoops to get it working with Interface2/Sinclair joysticks :)

GHOSTSHIP DELGADO (For the retro platform the Amstrad CPC range - also playable under Windows/Mac/Linux emulation - instructions included).

Download Ghostship Delgado

Take on the role of George Pike, a happy go lucky chap renting a yacht on the holiday of his lifetime in the 1960s. George is accompanied by his partner, sleeping on the lower deck, and Ruffles, George's trusty dog.

While dozing off to sleep in the sunshine of the upper deck you awake to find yourself on the quarter deck of a mysterious, seemingly abandoned historic ship. 

Only Ruffles the dog and the clothes you are wearing appear to be the same. You begin to survey your surroundings you immediately notice a stillness in the air, and no-one in sight.

Yet the ship appears to be far out to sea with no land in sight. You call out in hope that someone may hear you but to no avail.

Ruffles begins to sniff, circling with his nose to the deck. Has he smelt something?

Can you discover why George arrived here? Can you find a way off the ship and back to your yacht and partner? And will Ruffles safely make it along with you?  An adventure awaits you in this unusual two part IF text adventure for the Amstrad CPC and Plus range (or suitable Windows/Mac emulator).

A new update to Ghostship Delgado is released today for the BBC Micro/Electron (or emulators for Windows, Mac or Linux). The update corrects a number of grammar and typos in both parts of the game. The game is downloadable for free with some extras available.

Ghostship Delgado is a new 8-bit text adventure / interactive fiction game written on a traditional adventure writing tool - Gilsoft's The Quill - originally released in the early 1980s. The game has been written entirely in a BBC Micro emulator (BeebEm) and the game can be played in a web browser, Windows, Mac OS, Linux or an actual BBC Micro / Acorn Electron computer.

If you are interested in interactive fiction, old or new, take a look!

The scrolling mechanics of the chopper are brilliant and really make this game fun to play. It's so sad when you see a human being beamed up when you have a full helicopter! :D

I've dropped you a pm on IntFiction.org :)

A tricky little game, and impressive in 1K well done.

That's fun, will download for my real Zeddy :)

Very impressive looking conversion Jonathan!

Thank you :)

Hi, the game supports Interface2 or Sinclair joystick but unfortunately not Kempston interface.

Thanks :)

Very fast and smooth gameplay!

Hi Jonathan, sorry this is a little off-topic, but do you still provide any support for S.E.U.D? I'm looking for help with outputting sound. Thanks.
