== Synopsis ==<br />
Since its first release in early 2019, dMagnetic is a [[Magnetic Scrolls]] interpreter for modern devices. Its main goal is being as portable as possible, and can be found in various operating systems as a pre-compiled package.<br />
Instead of relying on graphical libraries such as GTK, QT or SDL, it is designed to run the games in a terminal window. <br />
<br />
== Input Formats ==<br />
Being an interpreter, dMagnetic needs the original game binaries to play them. Since release 0.32, it is capable of reading them in one of the following formats: <br />
<br />
* .mag/.gfx files (from the Magnetic Scrolls Memorial)<br />
* MS DOS directories<br />
* C64 Disk images (D64)<br />
* Magnetic Windows Resource Files<br />
* Amstrad CPC disk images (DSK)<br />
* Spectrum128/Spectrum+3<br />
* Acorn Archimedes<br />
* AtariXL/Atari800 ATR image files<br />
* Apple II NIB/2MG/WOZ files<br />
<br />
== Graphical Modes ==<br />
[[Magnetic Scrolls]] was known for its beautiful graphics. dMagnetic is capable of displaying them, on its own, in the terminal window. <br />
<br />
* none - does not render the graphics<br />
* monochrome - Renders images as ASCII Art<br />
* low ansi - Renders images in 16-Color ANSI Art<br />
* high ansi - Truecolor graphics<br />
* sixel - High Resolution graphics<br />
* utf - Uses UTF-8 characters to render the pictures<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
* Debian/Ubuntu: <code>% apt-get install dmagnetic</code><br />
* OpenBSD: <code>% pkg_add dmagnetic</code><br />
<br />
<br />
For example, to play Jinxter on Debian:<br />
<br />
* <code>apt-get install dmagnetic</code><br />
* Download JINXTER.MAG AND JINXTER.GFX from the Magnetic Scrolls Memorial<br />
* <code>dMagnetic -mag JINXTER.MAG -gfx JINXTER.GFX</code><br />

<hr />
<div>Founded in 1984 by [[Anita Sinclair]], [[Ken Gordon]], and [[Hugh Steers]], this British company produced seven highly-regarded IF works. In common with contemporaries [[Infocom]] and [[Level 9]], '''Magnetic Scrolls''' employed a [[virtual machine]], but it was based on the machine code of a real 68000 chip, instead of an invented machine. '''Magnetic Scrolls'''' [[authoring system]] anticipated later trends by emphasizing more [[simulation]].<br />
<br />
==The Games==<br />
The following games were distributed by [[Rainbird Software]] in the UK, and by [[Firebird (distributor)|Firebird]] in the US:<br />
* ''[[The Pawn]]'' ([[Rob Steggles]], illustrator: [[Geoff Quilley]], music: [[John Molloy]]; 1985; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
* ''[[The Guild of Thieves]]'' ([[Rob Steggles]], illustrators: [[Geoff Quilley]] and [[Tristan Humphries]]; 1987; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
* ''[[Jinxter]]'' ([[Georgina Sinclair]] and [[Michael Bywater]], music: [[John Molloy]]; 1987).<br />
* ''[[Corruption]]'' ([[Rob Steggles]] and [[Hugh Steers]], illustrators: [[Alan Hunnisett]] and [[Richard Selby]], music: [[John Molloy]]; 1988; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
* ''[[Fish!]]'' ([[John Molloy]], [[Pete Kemp]], [[Phil South]], [[Rob Steggles]], illustrators: [[Geoff Quilley]], [[Alan Hunnisett]], [[Chris Kent]], [[Richard Selby]], [[Tristan Humphries]], music: [[John Molloy]]; 1988; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
<br />
<br />
This game was distributed through [[Official Secrets]]:<br />
* ''[[Myth]]'' ([[Paul Findley]], illustrators: [[Geoff Quilley]], [[Tristan Humphries]], [[Chris Kent]]; 1989; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
<br />
<br />
This game was distributed by Virgin Mastertronic or Virgin Interactive:<br />
* ''[[Wonderland]]'' ([[David Bishop]], illustrators: [[Alan Hunnisett]], [[Chris Kent]], [[Geoff Quilley]], [[Anna Williams]], music: [[Michael Powell]]; 1990; [[Magnetic Windows]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
This game isn't IF, but an "adventure/RPG" hybrid, distributed by MicroProse:<br />
* ''The Legacy: Realm of Terror'' (1993).<br />
<br />
==Collections==<br />
* ''[[The Magnetic Scrolls Collection, Volume 1]]'' (1991). Contains ''The Guild of Thieves'', ''Corruption'', and ''Fish!'' remade with [[Magnetic Windows]].<br />
<br />
==Interpreters==<br />
To play the games on modern hardware, two re-implementations of the virtual machine are available: <br />
* [[Magnetic]]<br />
* [[Dmagnetic|dMagnetic]]<br />
<br />
==Links==<br />
* [http://www.magneticscrolls.com/ magneticscrolls.com] is the offical Magnetic Scrolls site, owned by co-founder [[Ken Gordon]]. However, except for the logo, it's empty.<br />
* [https://magneticscrolls.net magneticscrolls.net] is an online Game Server, where the original games are playable over SSH<br />

== Synopsis ==<br />
Since its first release in early 2019, dMagnetic is a [[Magnetic Scrolls]] interpreter for modern devices. Its main goal is being as portable as possible, and can be found in various operating systems as a pre-compiled package.<br />
Instead of relying on graphical libraries such as GTK, QT or SDL, it is designed to run the games in a terminal window. <br />
<br />
== Input Formats ==<br />
Being an interpreter, dMagnetic needs the original game binaries to play them. Since release 0.32, it is capable of reading them in one of the following formats: <br />
<br />
* .mag/.gfx files (from the Magnetic Scrolls Memorial)<br />
* MS DOS directories<br />
* C64 Disk images (D64)<br />
* Magnetic Windows Resource Files<br />
* Amstrad CPC disk images (DSK)<br />
* Spectrum128/Spectrum+3<br />
* Acorn Archimedes<br />
* AtariXL/Atari800 ATR image files<br />
* Apple II NIB/2MG/WOZ files<br />
<br />
== Graphical Modes ==<br />
[[Magnetic Scrolls]] was known for its beautiful graphics. dMagnetic is capable of displaying them, on its own, in the terminal window. <br />
<br />
* none - does not render the graphics<br />
* monochrome - Renders images as ASCII Art<br />
* low ansi - Renders images in 16-Color ANSI Art<br />
* high ansi - Truecolor graphics<br />
* sixel - High Resolution graphics<br />
* utf - Uses UTF-8 characters to render the pictures<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
* Debian/Ubuntu: <code>% apt-get install dmagnetic</code><br />
* OpenBSD: <code>% pkg_add dmagnetic</code><br />
<br />
<br />
For example, to play Jinxter on Debian:<br />
<br />
* <code>apt-get install dmagnetic</code><br />
* Download JINXTER.MAG AND JINXTER.GFX from the Magnetic Scrolls Memorial<br />
* <code>dMagnetic -mag JINXTER.MAG -gfx JINXTER.GFX</code><br />

<div>Founded in 1984 by [[Anita Sinclair]], [[Ken Gordon]], and [[Hugh Steers]], this British company produced seven highly-regarded IF works. In common with contemporaries [[Infocom]] and [[Level 9]], '''Magnetic Scrolls''' employed a [[virtual machine]], but it was based on the machine code of a real 68000 chip, instead of an invented machine. '''Magnetic Scrolls'''' [[authoring system]] anticipated later trends by emphasizing more [[simulation]].<br />
<br />
==The Games==<br />
The following games were distributed by [[Rainbird Software]] in the UK, and by [[Firebird (distributor)|Firebird]] in the US:<br />
* ''[[The Pawn]]'' ([[Rob Steggles]], illustrator: [[Geoff Quilley]], music: [[John Molloy]]; 1985; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
* ''[[The Guild of Thieves]]'' ([[Rob Steggles]], illustrators: [[Geoff Quilley]] and [[Tristan Humphries]]; 1987; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
* ''[[Jinxter]]'' ([[Georgina Sinclair]] and [[Michael Bywater]], music: [[John Molloy]]; 1987).<br />
* ''[[Corruption]]'' ([[Rob Steggles]] and [[Hugh Steers]], illustrators: [[Alan Hunnisett]] and [[Richard Selby]], music: [[John Molloy]]; 1988; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
* ''[[Fish!]]'' ([[John Molloy]], [[Pete Kemp]], [[Phil South]], [[Rob Steggles]], illustrators: [[Geoff Quilley]], [[Alan Hunnisett]], [[Chris Kent]], [[Richard Selby]], [[Tristan Humphries]], music: [[John Molloy]]; 1988; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
<br />
<br />
This game was distributed through [[Official Secrets]]:<br />
* ''[[Myth]]'' ([[Paul Findley]], illustrators: [[Geoff Quilley]], [[Tristan Humphries]], [[Chris Kent]]; 1989; Magnetic Scrolls).<br />
<br />
<br />
This game was distributed by Virgin Mastertronic or Virgin Interactive:<br />
* ''[[Wonderland]]'' ([[David Bishop]], illustrators: [[Alan Hunnisett]], [[Chris Kent]], [[Geoff Quilley]], [[Anna Williams]], music: [[Michael Powell]]; 1990; [[Magnetic Windows]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
This game isn't IF, but an "adventure/RPG" hybrid, distributed by MicroProse:<br />
* ''The Legacy: Realm of Terror'' (1993).<br />
<br />
==Collections==<br />
* ''[[The Magnetic Scrolls Collection, Volume 1]]'' (1991). Contains ''The Guild of Thieves'', ''Corruption'', and ''Fish!'' remade with [[Magnetic Windows]].<br />
<br />
==Interpreters==<br />
To play the games on modern hardware, two re-implementations of the virtual machine are available: <br />
* [[Magnetic]]<br />
* [[Dmagnetic|dMagnetic]]<br />
<br />

== Synopsis ==<br />
[[Category:Interpreter]]<br />
Since its first release in early 2019, dMagnetic is a [[Magnetic Scrolls]] interpreter for modern devices. Its main goal is being as portable as possible, and can be found in various operating systems as a pre-compiled package.<br />
Instead of relying on graphical libraries such as GTK, QT or SDL, it is designed to run the games in a terminal window. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Input Formats ==<br />
Being an interpreter, dMagnetic needs the original game binaries to play them. Since release 0.29, it is capable of reading them in one of the following formats: <br />
<br />
* .mag/.gfx files (from the Magnetic Scrolls Memorial)<br />
* MS DOS directories<br />
* C64 Disk images (D64)<br />
* Magnetic Windows Resource Files<br />
* Amstrad CPC disk images (DSK)<br />
* Spectrum128/Spectrum+3<br />
* Acorn Archimedes<br />
* AtariXL/Atari800 ATR image files<br />
<br />
== Graphical Modes ==<br />
[[Magnetic Scrolls]] was known for its beautiful graphics. dMagnetic is capable of displaying them, on its own, in the terminal window. <br />
<br />
* none - does not render the graphics<br />
* monochrome - Renders images as ASCII Art<br />
* low ansi - Renders images in 16-Color ANSI Art<br />
* high ansi - Truecolor graphics<br />
* sixel - High Resolution graphics<br />
* utf - Uses UTF-8 characters to render the pictures<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
* Debian/Ubuntu: '''% apt-get install dmagnetic'''<br />
* OpenBSD: '''% pkg_add dmagnetic'''<br />

Instead of relying on graphical libraries such as GTK, QT or SDL, it is designed to run the games in a terminal window. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Input Formats ==<br />
Being an interpreter, dMagnetic needs the original game binaries to play them. Since release 0.24, it is capable of reading them in one of the following formats: <br />
<br />
* .mag/.gfx files (from the Magnetic Scrolls Memorial)<br />
* MS DOS directories<br />
* C64 Disk images (D64)<br />
* Magnetic Windows Resource Files<br />
<br />
== Graphical Modes ==<br />
[[Magnetic Scrolls]] was known for its beautiful graphics. dMagnetic is capable of displaying them, on its own, in the terminal window. <br />
<br />
* none - does not render the graphics<br />
* monochrome - Renders images as ASCII Art<br />
* low ansi - Renders images in 16-Color ANSI Art<br />
* high ansi - Truecolor graphics<br />
* sixel - High Resolution graphics<br />

<div>Founded in 1984 by [[Anita Sinclair]], [[Ken Gordon]], and [[Hugh Steers]], this British company produced seven highly-regarded IF works. In common with contemporaries [[Infocom]] and [[Level 9]], '''Magnetic Scrolls''' employed a [[virtual machine]], but it was based on the machine code of a real 68000 chip, instead of an invented machine. '''Magnetic Scrolls'''' [[authoring system]] anticipated later trends by emphasizing more [[simulation]].<br />
