Colossal Cave

I was feeling nostalgic the other day. "I wonder if the is anything about the Adventure game on the internet?"

Adventure and/or game is not a particularly useful Google search. Forgetting the magic word (at least using XXZ..) isn't productive either. But, XYZZY works like a champ in Google..

The site designed by Rick Adams has some interesting history and a bunch of links. I may just have to download some of those old executables. I'm sure my old PC-1 is in the garage somewhere.

Adventure was a text based game in the late 70's early 80's. You explored a cave. The magic word solved one of the puzzles.
