Dunzhin: Warrior of Ras Volume I by Computer Applications Unlimited
A totally groundbreaking adventure game. Seems to contain an actual Z80 interpreter, and does feature digitized speech! You heard me, digitized speech, and the game is from 1982! The game itself is much like Rogue/Hack, you fight your way through a number of levels seeking a specific object.

Cyborg by Sentient Software

Cyborg is a text-based adventure game, written by Michael Berlyn, before he started working for Infocom. You play the part of a cyborg, or actually, you play the human part of a cyborg. With no memory of who you are, or what has happened to you, you must work your way through a rather large game for its time.

Any formatted disk will work as a save disk, so I didn't include one in the booting version. In the DOS version, one is included (and required), since I emulate that file to be in B: when the game is started.

Flopper status: Works. Uses real B: to save/restore games if you have 2 disk drives.

The Alpine Encounter by Random House
Rare adventure game, in which you're supposed to stop a terrorist organisation known simply as Vodac from taking over the world. The game is short, with a walkthrough, it can be completed in less than 10 moves. Of course, if you complete it like that, you'll understand nothing of what goes on in the game. It has some bugs, and the parser leaves a lot to be desired...
