About the Story

A game with similarities to the original ADVENT (or Colossal Cave if you prefer) but with many differences and an all-round tougher experience.

The game was written in CDC Pascal by George Richmond, with some help from Mike Preston. The original program, ran on a CDC NOS mainframe system. Jason Dyer aptly described it as being written "...like — the author played Adventure, liked it, had some notes — then decided to write his own game from scratch, riffing off his notes but filling in the gaps with his own imagination."

"Still, maybe nothing to get excited over. With another lost version of Adventure, you might think (as I first did before booting this up) that all we have here is yet another port, with extra rooms tossed for flavor.

That doesn’t describe this at all.

It’s more like — the author played Adventure, liked it, had some notes — then decided to write his own game from scratch, riffing off his notes but filling in the gaps with his own imagination. It’s like he made a full length sweding of Adventure."
