== NAME ==
advent - Colossal Cave Adventure
== SYNOPSIS ==
*advent*
== DESCRIPTION ==
The original Colossal Cave Adventure from 1976 was the origin of all
text adventures, dungeon-crawl games, and computer-hosted roleplaying
games.
This is the last version released by Crowther & Woods, its original
authors, in 1995. It has been known as "adventure 2.5" and "430-point
adventure".
This game is released as open source with the permission and encouragement of
the authors.
== DISAMBIGUATION ==
There is an 'adventure' in the BSD games package that is a C
port of the 1976 ancestor of this game. To avoid a name collision,
this game builds as 'advent', reflecting the fact that the PDP-10
on which it originally ran limited filenames to 6 characters.
