Plundered Hearts	?	?	In 1985 Elliam Associates obtained rights to port Infocom's CP/M games to ADAM computer. Apparently, Elliam Associates did this only for Infocom games that customers ordered. So, if a customer wanted Plundered Hearts, they ported it, transfered it to 5¼" ADAM disk(s), and package it in an Infocom box, Infocom instructions, Infocom feelies, and shipped it. Then they had the port for other customers who asked. So if a customer asked for an Infocom CP/M game, it exists for ADAM and at least 1 copy was shipped. If no one asked for it, it does not exist for ADAM. Plundered Hearts is know to have been ported to ADAM. Probably by Elliam Associates.	Coleco Adam

Tenka no Goikenban: Mito Koumon	Sunsoft	1987	This game is based on a long-running television series playing in Japan taking place during the Edo period. It's one of those games where its really difficult to figure out what you actually have to do. You run around in a Japanese town hitting people, talking with people, collecting items. But for what purpose I couldn't find out. And information about this is sparse. The game features lots of text for an "action" game. The towns are detailed enough and set the right atmosphere for the historical setting. It even features some speech-samples, all thanks to being one of the first 2Mbit cartridges for the Famicom. However that lack of direction and being clueless of what to actually do in this game made it unplayable for me.	NES

Pirates!	Microprose	1988	This is the same game from the Amiga, but slightly different. This game was long and fun, but other people could say different. It acted slow with the sailing and the old fighting. You had a joystick with two buttons, so not much was done in the game other than talking and sorting boats and booty and sleeping with the governer's daughter, but the time was interesting and you were provided with some background about it all. It could be played from different periods, all within the same period, which made it educational more than a 'witty option for all you hardcore gamers'. Treasure hunting and conquest actually required you do write some things down on a pad and scan around for things. For a game 15 years old, I could stay play it to this day. That is, of course, if I could find it. Pirates! Gold on the Genesis doesn't do this justice at all. [Pfilosophy]	Apple IIGS
