Clouds momentarily +sweep the cold face of the moon and I perceive the clicks, whistles and +cries of creatures in the hot air that cloaks this place. Desperately, I +try to stay my panic and remember those fragments of wilderness craft +learned and unlearned many years ago. + + Choose your weapon carefully, + Get ready for a fight. + The jungle can be dangerous + If you go there at night. + There's time to pick up treasure, + But no time to stop and stare. + If you don't find the hidden cave + You won't get out of there. + +Hopeless, I scramble to my feet, reaching for any weapon still left to me. +Struggling through the dense undergrowth, I search for signs of a track or +trail. At first glance, paths that seemed to lead to safety turn out to be +impassable, overgrown by tangled and twisted vines. I remember the words of +an old teacher: + + "Do not be tempted to use fire to make your way. + Many a traveller has strayed from the path, using fire to blaze a trail, + only to reach a dead end. Trying to return, they find that the jungle + has grown back. Those who are desperate enough will even seek out + forgotten routes when the way home is in sight." + +Sensing my presence, obscene creatures emerge from the darkness, hungry +for prey. Only through skill and luck am I able to dispatch them back +into the shadows. Even though I know I must journey deeper into this +uncharted land to find the way home, the thought of vengeance drives me on. + + +Installation + +The sources for this game can be obtained from the Mercurial repository hosted +on the Retro Software Web site: + + http://www.retrosoftware.co.uk/hg/junglejourney + +You can download an archive of the current sources by clicking on one of the +"bz2", "zip" or "gz" links on the main repository page. + +Alternatively, you can use Mercurial to clone this repository from the command +line, obtaining the full development history of the game: + + hg clone http://www.retrosoftware.co.uk/hg/junglejourney + +You need Python, the Python Imaging Library and the Ophis 6502 assembler to +build the game. + +Run the buildrom.py script at the command line, passing the name of the ROM +files to create.
