8-bit Dice - a cross platform retro fantasy

I've ported a simple dice game to a good number of 8-bit systems of the '70s/'80s (I'd already posted the VIC-20 version here).
The complete package can be downloaded from here.

Cheers

Re: Why "C"?

Why "C"?

I have this (t2p formatted) code: @input: IF INKEY$="3" THEN goto @theend IF INKEY$ <>"1" AND INKEY$ <>"2" THEN GOTO @input LET D=VAL(INKEY$) [...] @theend [...] ("3" jumps to the end of the program, "1" or "2" roll one or two dice respectively).

Re: Getting started - need toolkit!

Any idea how to fix this? And is there perhaps some t...

Re: ULA revision
