This is a real-time adventure based in mythological times, first released for the Sinclair QL home computer by Talent computer systems of Glasgow in 1984. Written by Alan Black and Jon R Malone, it is probably one of the best selling programs ever for the Sinclair QL. It was also released on the Atari ST, BBC Micro and Electron. It has now been made available to Windows based PC users thanks to QL2K, a Sinclair QL emulator by Jimmy Montesinos and Raphael Zhou in France, based on the freeware QLAY emulator written by Jan Venema in the Netherlands.

West is a classic, challenging text only adventure for the experienced games-player, with over 130 locations to search (not all of them easy to find) and a huge vocabulary. It is set in 1885, in real time with traps, puzzles and mazes - and a special note-pad feature to help you!  It was one of the earliest adventures released on the Sinclair QL and has proved ever lasting and highly popular.

You find yourself in the old-west, with only a trusty six-shooter and a steed as friends. You are on the track of a notorious gang of bank robbers who have gone to ground near an abandoned mining town deep in Indian territory.  They have hidden the stolen loot. Your task - to outwit and outgun the robbers, collect as much loot as possible and piece together clues on how to escape. Can you survive this harsh environment and escape from this gold-rush town?? You have to cope with Red Indians, bank robbers and rattlesnakes. Events happen in real-time outside your control - Indians charge, rattle-snakes slither past and robbers appear and shoot you.

How long can you survive??

NOTE: You can download a demo version from this website - this is the full adventure but is limited to 3 sessions of 20 minutes playing time.
