V/+AVART4
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

HEROES
The above is an alphametic. The numbers solving it can give a combina-
tion used elsewhere.
UIF QBTTXPSE JT IPSTF. A cryptogram (suitably arranged in a crypt in
HAMIL).
Then there are steals from Dudeney and other famous puzzlists: "Lost -
one wolf, one goat, one cabbage". The old puzzle about transporting
wolf, goat and cabbage without leaving the wolf alove with the goat, or
the goat with the cabbage.
Logic puzzles:
NW exit: If this is the safe exit, then N is False.
N exit: If this is the safe exit, then NE is False.
NE exit: If this is the safe exit, then NW is True.
Puzzles based on Binary and Ternary systems ("Hippogriff rides 29
groats - please insert exact fare").
In fact almost anything can be fitted into an adventure somewhere. As an
extreme example, SANGRAAL has a 'Klingsor's Tower' puzzle, where the
evil wizard Klingsor challenges the player to a wide range of contests:
solving riddles, completing poems, simple games and various miscellan-
eous puzzles.
In summary, it's very easy to design adventure puzzles. I've never
been anle to solve them, though.
