Description
Crowther and Woods' trailblazing treasure-hunting cave-exploring text adventure game ADVENTURE is here presented in a new form. Compiled from early FORTRAN and C sources, this port makes use of its early GUI by presenting a text output window, through which the game communicates to the player, as well as a player input window with buttons to streamline common commands (typically directional in nature) and a text entry box for more esoteric words (such as, for instance, "xyzzy".) The story and plot, such as it is (grab the treasures, try not to die) is much the same as other ports from its primeval source. This version, as do many, offers 350 points to be amassed through player action and treasure collection.
