The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.

First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.

The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Description

The first computer adventure game came alive in a cave, called the Colossal Cave. Written by William Crowther, it set off an explosion of "look-alike" clones, though none remain as fanciful, as magical, or as wondrous as Colossal Cave, also known as Adventure.

It represented a new kind of computer program -- a game of flowing, descriptive text portraying a wonderful story involving creatures, treasures, and magic. Adventure is said to have inspired Dave Lebling, the creator of the ZORK games, to create adventure games. But what exactly is Adventure? You are an adventurer on a mission to collect a number of treasures, learn a variety of magic words, and solve a myriad of puzzles.
