Version 0.3716-may-2023This version saw a little bit action on the help screens. Plus, the WEIRD WEIRD graphics mode of the Apple II ate a lot of memory, which, if you do it properly, is no longer wasted.

Version 0.3628-jan-2023The "Welcome interested developers" release! Not that many features which are of use to the casual gamer, but under the hood, the code has matured. Now it is even possible to build a backend library to run the magic of Magnetic Scrolls with 3rd party frontends! Looking forward to it!!

Version 0.3524-jan-2023Lots of cleanup. The memory consumption was reduced and the interface between the frontend and the engine has gotten cleaner. Oh, and there is a more stable savegame for Atari and Apple available.

Version 0.3426-apr-2022Last release's new -nodoc feature proved to be quite popular. It did not take long for the first users to point out a flaw, so this is a bugfix-release. In addition to this, the documentation was updated.

Version 0.3314-apr-2022Welcome back friends! A long time has passed since the last release, has it not? Have you tried playing online over at http://magneticscrolls.net yet? You will notice that said website already had the latest release for some time, but now it is time to open it up to the public. It includes a couple of bug fixes. And an experimental new file format for save-games, which can be activated at compile time. Oh! And there is also the -nodoc feature, which lets players play without the manual...

Version 0.3222-jul-2021Welcome to the WOZ release! This one lets you play from images in said format, if you fancy the original Apple II releases! It also saw some code cleanup under the hood. So enjoy it! Do not forget to check out the -dumpmag and -dumpgfx commandline options! Finally, a big shoutout to James, Hendrik and John. (In no particular order). You guys helped me a lot with this release.

Version 0.3123-jun-2021Welcome, Apple II enthusiasts! This release is able to read the game data from .NIB and .2MG image files. Corruption came with some interesting graphics as well, so check it out. Speaking of Graphics: I improved the sixel mode. (Thank you James!) On top of that, I added the -dumpmag and -dumpgfx commandline parameters. As the name suggests, they can be used to create conveniant game containers out of image files.

Version 0.3031-jan-2021This is a code cleanup release. It includes lots of bug fixes. For example: A picture from 'Fish!' was missing. What a shame. In addtion to this, I also took the liberty of cleaning up the website a little bit. Hope you like it. :)

In addtition to this, a new graphics vmode has been added: UTF. It works on more terminals than the sixel mode and allows more people to enjoy the beautiful pictures!

Version 0.2701-nov-2020Unfortunately, the last release (0.26) had a severe bug. Which allowed Amstrad CPC enthusiasts to play the old games, but nobody else. This bug has been fixed now.

Version 0.2526-jul-2020This release saw some internal updates. The post-compilation check works more stable now, and the RGB channels have been upgraded from 3 Bits to 10 Bits. Colours look much more lively now. Just try for yourself!

Version 0.2411-jul-2020This is the Commodore 64 release. It is now possible to use .d64 images to play the games. The graphics have their very own, distinct aesthetic. Just try it out for yourself!

Version 0.2306-jun-2020This release saw major improvements when playing the original games from the MS DOS releases. The images packaged in there used a slightly different format than the AMIGA versions, resulting in muted colours when playing with the LOW ANSI output.
An alternative algorithm has been introduced, called -vmode low_ansi2, resulting in much more colourful, nuanced pictures. Just have a look yourself!

Version 0.2213-feb-2020This release saw MAJOR additions. Not only allows the new "sixel" mode for better looking graphics (in certain terminal emulators), but also the game binaries from "Wonderland" and "The Magnetic Scrolls Collection Volume 1" can be used to play the game directly. Those contained images for playing with EGA graphics. Using the new parameter -ega, it is now possible to enjoy those.

Version 0.2118-jan-2020The previous version had some leftover debugging-code, which was creating a debug.mag file under certain circumstances. My deepest apologies. To make up for it, this version supports the MS DOS binaries from "Corruption" as well as "Fish!". Enjoy!

Version 0.2015-jan-2020This version is the 'Jinxter' release. It is now possible to play with the original MS-DOS binaries, and load old save games. Not only that: A bug in the sliding puzzle has also been fixed. It is solvable now.

Version 0.1927-dec-2019This version is capable of natively reading the binaries from the MS-DOS version of "The Pawn" and "The Guild Of Thieves". This allowed for showing the beautiful title screens, but also necessated in a new vmode high_ansi2. It is hard to explain what it means, so just check it out yourself. (Just start -vmode high_ansi2).
Additionally, the Random Generator was given an overhaul. It is now possible, with "-rmode real" to have a completely new gaming experience.

Version 0.1606-jul-2019One user told me that he was not as pleased with the word wrap as one might think. Now, it is possible to read the text left-, block-, and right-aligned. (Whereas the last one is not really recommened. You see! ;) )dMagnetic_0.16.tar.gz
MD5: 75768513c2c8737a09136efd7f539b0f
Version 0.1508-jun-2019So far, I have been mauled by a bear, eaten by viscious rats, choked by a constrictor, buried alive (because I tried hiding in a casket), stood on a square of the wrong color, beaten in hand-to-hand combat by an old frail man, and drowned because I did not drop the statue. Oh, and I also kicked the bucket.
This version allows for configuration of the characters used for the low ansi and monochrome renderer. There, I also applied some subtle changes. Looks great!

MD5: 637551533b7d61013a73930ff2e1e9f5
Version 0.1324-may-2019This version made the "low ansi" mode the default output mode. It works on all terminals, across all Unix platforms (old and new). If you prefer to have the richest amount of colors, feel free to use the "-vmode high_ansi" command line option.dMagnetic_0.13.tar.gz
MD5: 496040ffb0d71b9a33c8f1a38073fec5

MD5: 58deaf067b46b4c6e1e141dfad44a8fb
Version 0.1119-may-2019This version has an updated manpage, and can be build with BSD make. To ease access, the command line options were streamlined. There is also the possibility to write logfiles of your adventures.dMagnetic_0.11.tar.gz
MD5: c084c1e3c8cdab70b4723aa37ec42027

Version 0.0830-apr-2019This version saw a little bit of code cleanup. Graphics for "Corruption" and "Wonderland" are working. There was also a crash when trying to save the game with an empty filename. That has been fixed.dMagnetic_0.08.tar.gz
MD5: d3574eec65463488379142d485d7c3ab

Version 0.0628-apr-2019This version allows you to delve down into the rabbit's hole, and finish "Wonderland". Unfortunately, the graphics do not work, yet. But the story is as weird as you'd think. The code looks awful.dMagnetic_0.06.tar.gz
MD5: 992ea0f8f6de195631fe0b8b184fc054
Version 0.0527-apr-2019Due to popular demand, I started working on "Corruption". Which is possible to finish. "Myth", and "Fish!" can be started, but I cannot guarantee that you will be able to play them through. For this game, the graphic format changed, and I will have to figure out what it is before I can support it.
I also did some stabilization for "The Pawn" and "Jinxter". The code looks awful now.

MD5: 8cbc6be42d81bca2288c662014f98399
Version 0.0322-apr-2019This version saw more bugfixes. And I finshed playing Jinxter, albeit with only 185 of 205 points. I do not know if that is the end of the game, the virtual machine behaves bit-exact to the Magnetic2.3 version. Get the binaries from The magnetic scrolls memorial.dMagnetic_0.03.tar.gz

I cannot guarantee that it is possible to finish the game. Get the binaries from The magnetic scrolls memorial. Oh, and the low ansi renderer looks much better now.dMagnetic_0.02.tar.gz
MD5: 4a1e5566d8149f5077bb182a054a60ce
Version 0.0114-apr-2019This is the initial release. It is possible to play through "The Pawn", but you will have to grab the .mag and .gfx binaries from The magnetic scrolls memorial . And I cannot guarantee that the game will not crash on you. Sorry.dMagnetic_0.01.tar.gz
