The Dallas Quest

The Dallas Quest is a graphic adventure game based on the popular soap opera "Dallas" created by David Jacobs. The game was programmed by James Garon for the TRS-80 Color Computer and published by Datasoft in 1984. It was ported to the Apple II, Atari 8-bit family, and Commodore 64.
Development.
Lorimar Productions, the studio that produced "Dallas", licensed the rights to its characters to Datasoft and provided a script by two "screenwriter's assistants" for the show. James Garon adapted the script into a text adventure game, with graphics provided by professional artists.
Reception.
A five star "Your Commodore" review praised the graphics as some of the best in the genre, though they "take a long time to be reproduced." The reviewer disliked the sparse use of music and was not impressed with the music that does exist. Overall, it was called "one of the best games out on the CBM 64."
Arnie Katz concluded a 1984 "Electronic Games" review with, "Once you get past the fact that "Dallas Quest" isn't very closely tied to the show, it turns out to be somewhat entertaining and reasonably challenging."
