Probably the simplest of the room handlers, this routine takes care of making the floors disappear and reappear. It’s a good place to start before looking into the more complicated handlers.

Booty was probably one of the most successful budget games ever written. Let’s take a look at how the game handles taking a “snapshot” of room data, and how it populates the room data buffers and the (oddly empty) table which holds pointers to the room data buffers.

One of the best budget games ever written; “Booty” by Firebird).

When I was young I took on my older sisters paper round as she didn’t want to do it any more. I think I was maybe a little too young to be doing a paper round (I was 11 I guess, maybe even a little younger) and obviously it didn’t pay all that well - hence, a lot of the games I bought back then were “budget” games, like Booty.

They were a perfect price for paper round money!
