Prepare yourself for the Adventure of your life as this classic fantasy/logic game takes you into the world the Colossal Cave with your computer as your guide. Inside you will search for treasures, solve puzzles, avoid dangerous hazards and fight deadly adversaries.

Your object is to explore the entire cave and find all its hidden treasures without falling prey to the dangers that lurk within.

Adventure was originally written in FORTRAN at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and serves as a demonstration in artificial intelligence. The program acts as an "aware" companion for you; you can ask simple questions and type simple commands which your computer will "understand" and react to accordingly.

As you will notice, very few explicit instructions for the game are given either in this manual or in the program itself. The challenge is for you, the explorer, with the help of your computer, to discover how the cave can be explored and the treasures retrieved.

With Microsoft Adventure, you have the complete version of the original Adventure. Nothing has been left out of the original MIT version. It will run on any IBM Personal Computer with a minimum of 32K memory and a single diskette drive.
