Abstract: Adventure is a magical, unpredictable and often addicting

computer game that has caught on in the United States in near epidemic

proportions.

It is a treasure hunt with all the trimmings - mysteries and challenges

that grow more and more complex as the game unravels. Adventure is

more of a puzzle than a game. Once solved, it's mastered. The mastering,

however, often takes months of drawing maps and planning strategy.

Adventure's sweeping popularity lies in it's power to enchant. Players

are projected into a world of fantasy, one that blends the heart pounding

suspense of "Treasure Island" with the magic of "Alice in Wonderland".

Note: This is a version of the popular PDP-11 Adventure game (DECUS

No. 11-340), containing all the features, but modified to run on a PDP-8.
