Vu sur Twitter, Davide Bucci est l'auteur de jeux d'aventure dont On the Queen's footsteps pour plusieurs ordinateurs 8bit.

Son jeu est écrit avec The Adventure Writing System (AWS) par Aristide Torrelli et son propre utilitaire aws2c qui traduit le fichier ascii d'AWS directement en code source C. Et comme son utilitaire utilise Z88DK pour créer la version ZX Spectrum, il lui a été facile de faire une version Amstrad CPC, merci à lui.

Voici l'introduction du jeu : today is August 27th, 1904. Nine months ago, you, Emilia Vittorini, joined the Italian Archeological Expedition in Egypt led by Ernesto Schiaparelli, the director of the Egyptian Museum of Turin. You are now back in Genova, Italy: your steam ferry arrived three days ago with 25 wooden boxes containing Queen Nefertari Meritmut's grave goods, a real treasure! They left Genova by train, heading towards Turin, yesterday evening. While they were in transit, you were invited to a sumptuous reception organised by a wealthy art lover, Eugenio Collovati, count of Raligotto, but it would be hard to say that you appreciated the evening. But the reception was yesterday: now, you must catch the train to Turin and check that the treasure arrived safely. I will be your eyes and ears. Good luck.
