MADE: Unknown game variant

Priority: low Component: Engine: MADE

Cc: Game: Return to Zork

Description

The game in 'Demo' seems to be an unknown game variant.

Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add and its version, language, etc.:

Matched game IDs for the MADE engine: rtz-cd

{"rtzcd.red", 0, "946997d8b0aa6cb4e848bad02a1fc3d2", 130683},

This is an interactive demo for Return to Zork from a 1994 English language Zork Anthology CD.
The Disk.ID file contains:

The Zork Anthology
1.0
ZORK

The Read.me file has the following relevant information:

The Zork Anthology includes demos of four of our
products: Simon the Sorcerer CD-ROM, Return to Zork,
MechWarrior 2: The Clans, and Planetfall: Floyd Strikes Back.

Return to Zork is currently available from Infocom on floppy disk
and CD-ROM formats for the IBM and is also availiable on CD-ROM
for the Macintosh.

A second read.me file created during installation lists:

To see the Return to Zork Demo, type RTZ at the prompt. Return
to Zork is currently available on both floppy disk and CD-ROM
formats.

The CD contains:

RTZ.DAT
RTZ.PRJ
RTZCD.PRJ
RTZCD.RED
RTZCDDRV.RED
RTZ.BAT
RTZ.CFG
10 .PMV files
and what I assume are some RTZ windows files (.PIF, .GRP, .ICO)
There is also a 'Drivers' folder with LSIZE and MAKECD referenced in the batch file.
(There are other files, but I'm only listing what matches the Datafiles web page.)

RTZ.BAT contents:

@echo off
C:
cd \ACTDEMOS
LOADHIGH DRIVERS\LSIZE
MADECD RTZCD -O -X -L -M:DRIVERS\PCSPKR -P:D:\
DRIVERS\LSIZE u

Any chance this interactive demo might work within ScummVM? I didn't see it listed on the Demos page, so I thought I'd submit it here and ask. Thank you.

I added a detection entry, would appreciate it if you could provide the files so I could test.

comment:2 by TrivialBalderdash, 4 years ago

Thanks for the update. I tested with the May 8 daily build. The detection works correctly, but the demo didn't start initially. The message returned is that demo.dat is missing (and later demo.prj, after I created a demo.dat file).

I renamed RTZCD.DAT to DEMO.DAT and RTZCD.PRJ to DEMO.PRJ, and it seems to be working.
I e-mailed a link to the download location (April 20). It doesn't contain these renamed files.
