About Colossal Cave Adventure
Colossal Cave Adventure brings to Windows the game that started it all – the game that pioneered the computer adventure game genre. While there were other text based computer games before Adventure like STARTREK (incidentally our first release – Star Trek Classic), this was the first text based “interactive fiction” game. The game was created by Will Crowther, a caving enthusiast, who combined a faithful simulation of his cave explorations and elements of fantasy role playing (he was a fan of Dungeons and Dragons), to create an adventure game for his daughters. The game was later expanded and improved in collaboration with Don Woods who introduced additional fantasy elements like elves and a troll. This is a faithful reproduction of the original game, ported to work on your Windows device. Here is how the game’s introduction starts: “Somewhere nearby is Colossal Cave, where others have found fortunes in treasure and gold, though it is rumored that some who enter are never seen again. Magic is said to work in the cave. ” Now. what are you waiting for? Let’s go on an Adventure.
