- Drmg042.pdf quote "... an extremely complex, challenging game ... in an imaginary world. The object of ADVENTURE is to gather treasures, which is tough enough, but you sometimes must also take the treasures to a specific location ... You tell the computer what to do with simple, two-word commands, like GO NORTH, EXAMINE BOOK, or ENTER CAVE. The computer has a fairly large vocabulary... The roots of ADVENTURE go back to a computerized version of D&D developed by a consulting firm in Massachusetts. The game went through several modifications and additions, and the present form of the 'original' ADVENTURE game is generally credited to Will Crowther and Don Woods. This 'original' version is still found, on many time-sharing computer systems. Then along came Scott Adams, who converted ADVENTURE for use with home computers. His first program, ADVENTURELAND, is a slightly scaled-down, machine-language version of the 'original' ADVENTURE program. Then he came out with PIRATE ADVENTURE, which has a completely different plot. With the success of these two programs, Scott wrote even more, and he has now become the acknowledged 'king' of the ADVENTURE game, with ten different versions being marketed. And there is talk of more on the way! ...During a game, the computer’s video screen in divided into two parts. The upper half of the screen always displays the description of the location the player is in at the moment. It also lists the obvious directions the player may go . The bottom half of the screen is reserved for the player’s input, such as giving commands. ...there is very little bloodshed of any kind in the Adams ADVENTURE series. It’s brain instead of brawn that counts here. Indeed, there are many funny occurrences ...I can’t recommend ANY version of Scott Adams’ ADVENTURE series highly enough. Beg, borrow, or steal a chance to play ADVENTURE!!!!!".
