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.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.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." The Dallas Quest Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
