What is included in the game files?


guesses:

background graphics...
moveable sprites
music/sounds
boundaries of character movement
removable boundaries (IE a door you can go through once open)

text from characters, rooms, item descriptions
timeline events (IE, this happens at time X)
trigger events (when player does X, Y happens)
standard text adventure text

---------------------------------------------------------

graphics are easily converted.  For now, who cares if they look good.
just get the stuff on the GS screen.  Same for sprites, and boundaries
can be scaled to fit the GS screen.  Music is easily converted.

It seems like porting a game interpreter like this would be fairly
easy.
