== NAME ==
|
|
advent - Colossal Cave Adventure
|
|
|
|
== SYNOPSIS ==
|
|
*advent* [-l logfile] [-o]
|
|
|
|
== 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".
|
|
|
|
There is an 'adventure' in the BSD games package that is a C port by
|
|
Jim Gillogly 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.
|
|
|
|
This version is released as open source with the permission and
|
|
encouragement of the original authors.
|
|
|
|
== OPTIONS ==
|
