*Colossal Cavern is a name of power, whispered in dark corners, embodying incredible riches and untold danger. Sensible folk hold the cave to be a myth, the product of fevered imaginations — but every year a handful of people set out to find it, driven by necessity or by overwhelming greed.

Most return empty-handed with tales of fruitless wanderings, or stories about the dangers faced: volcanos, dragons, gigantic snakes and the like. But some have never returned and speculation holds that they are the successful ones who have found the cave and perished — or maybe used the enormous wealth from it to found great empires in far-off lands where they live in luxury.

Now it is your turn to venture into the cavern and play Colossal Adventure!*REVIEWS
