Introduction

Taylormade is a basic text only engine for running the later
Adventure International UK authored games. This is not the
same as SAGA+ although some games were recoded from SAGA+.

Taylormade knows how to parse Spectrum .sna snapshot files
containing these games and uses patterns in the game binary
to locate table pointers. Currently the code will load most
but not all the games in this format.

To run use "taylormade game.sna".

Features

Taylormade should eventually support all the games in this
format. There are several complications to this goal. The
first is that the game engine changes features by release
much more than the Scott Adams engine did. 

The game supports the basic commands found in all the games
and the extensions that are so far analysed and identified.

Graphics are not currently supported.

Working Games

Rebel Planet

Blizzard Pass

He-man
    Has RAM save/load features (supported). Appears to
have an interpreter "GET ALL" that is not.

Temple Of Terror
    Much like He-man in game features but also adds
an "oops" function to go back one move. The oops function 
is supported.

Kayleth
    Pulls some tables wrongly from the .sna but close

Untested

Torch & Thing
