Ok,
here the Orient express game program.
Again.
:)
No, really. It's a pity that it lies unfinished in Liberty Demos here in JB archives.
So I took the source
then made it run under JB. Text only.
No code from Gordon et.al. was used.

The sound times are preserved (that little sS things), but no sounds are inserted.
And I fiddled end logic a bit - so we get correct congratulations or lack whereof.
But main puzzle left as it was (and I'm afraid it's unsolvable, though program has it's own idea about who is who).

Orient Express in Just BASIC

David Ahl's cool puzzle game. Solve the puzzle to identify two people (oh and prevent your own murder, by the way).

Now solvable. It has worked flawlessly for me the last half-dozen times.
ZIP includes the JB source code and a few sound files.

Plus, David Ahl's terrific STORY and complete list of program variables, and his original GW-BASIC source code.
