Treasure Quest

Post by MrVertigo »

When playing Treasure Quest on an emulator, I can never get the character to jump forward. It will only jump straight up, or move forward, never both at once. This makes the game impossible to play, regardless of the emulator i use.

Has anyone else experienced or solved this problem?

Villordsutch runs it on EO without any problems...

It’s the original version I’ve been using. I’ve been trying it on VB81 on Windows, and on the iPhone ZX81 emulator on iPhone. And on the online emulator too.

Hi MrVertigo,

Several emulators can't scan the multi-key press. Visual Basic and Java environment can only read one key pressed at time.
Vb81 is code in Visual Basic, and can't read simultaneous key pressed, only shifted keys (or CTRL , ALT) can be viewed.
This codding limitation can be shot-cut by a system device, but the asynchronous key map reading hang the ZX81 key scutation.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks very much. Do you know if EightyOne can handle the simultaneous key press? My actual ZX81 is broken at the moment.

I’ve been using iOS ZX81, which has treasure quest built in, and I have the same problem. It won’t jump and go forward at the same time. Which made me wonder why they’d included it.
