So I'm a sucker for old '70s text based games. If you liked Highnoon then this is like that and then some...


Ride your camel 200 miles across the Gobi desert avoiding Pygmies, Berbers and a sore hump. Prepare for some frustration; this one takes an optimal strategy and quite a bit of luck.

Cool! I hope you keep making these!

Found one bug:

"You have been caught in a sandstorm.....good luck!
Your new position is <print $c>> miles so far!
Your camel is burning across the desert sands.

W A R N I N G Get a drink
You have travelled 12 miles alltogether."

Thanks for finding that. I've now fixed it. I'm glad you like these - since I learned how to program by copying this as a kid I see giving a few of these a new lease of modern life as like paying my dues. They're quite fun to make too.
