Note

If you really (actually) want to play this game (although you probably don't, based on all the reviews, even on the textadventures site), it should work fine in Quest 5.9 and/or online.

Quest 3.02

This mirror still works: https://web.archive.org/web/20020618203838if_/http://wuarchive.wustl.edu:80/doc/misc/if-archive/programming/quest/quest302.exe

I'll attach it here, too, though...

quest302.zip

... just in case that mirror stops working one day. 😁

🤔 The game is ASL version 210. So, that was before Quest 2.19 for sure... And Quest 3.02 was the current version at the time of the competition... So, that has to be a warning against using GEAS.

GEAS was an unofficial Quest game runner, and it doesn't work right when it does happen to load a game, and it's what ScummVM has packaged in it to claim it plays Quest games, bwahahaha!

🧐 These are not in the zip with the game file. (We might be better off this way, or these might improve the experience. The world may never know!)

playwav <melody.wav>
playwav <chord.wav>
playwav <bass.wav>
playwav <drums.wav>
playwav <Paranoid.wav>
playwav <keyboards.wav>

If I find them, I'll update this.

Footnotes

1. I assume the “runs under Quest 3.02 only” note was to keep people from trying to run the game using GEAS? (Never use GEAS, kids! On rare occasions it will load those old Quest .CAS files, but it doesn't run them correctly even in those cases.) ↩
