ABOUT THIS ADAPTATION
The BASIC code for “The Amorites Are Coming” (a.k.a.,
“The Exodus Game”) was originally published in J. Conrod,
Computer Bible Games (Accent Publications, 1984). The present
adaptation is based primarily on the code for the TI-99/4A, with one
gameplay element adapted from the TRS-80 Color Computer source, and
minor additional adaptations made for gameplay and design. This
unofficial, non-commercial HTML browser-based version
— v1.8 — is by Andrew Perrin,
built with artificial intelligence coding assistance. Past and present
versions of the game were adapted in good faith under fair use
guidelines for educational, personal, and research purposes. Original
BASIC code used with permission by Philip Conrod. All original rights
remain with their respective owners.
HOW TO PLAY
> GOAL
- Lead the Israelites (“I”) from the starting corner to the Promised Land (“P”)
- Reach it in as few moves as possible, without being driven back too many times
> GAMEPLAY
- Move north, south, east, or west one step at a time
- Choose a difficulty from 1 (easy) to 10 (hard) before you begin — harder settings mean more Amorite blocks appear
- As you travel, Amorite blocks (“AAA”) may appear on the field — more can appear the longer you play
- Not every Amorite block is actually dangerous, but you can't tell which are safe just by looking
- Walking into a dangerous block drives you back — you get four such warnings before the journey ends
