Adventure recognizes several hundred words. Part of the fun is discovering what words the game recognizes and what happens when you enter different commands. Nevertheless, if you're a first time adventurer, you might find it helpful to have a list to refer to. Here is a list of nouns: Above Crack Fork Magazine Platinum Stairs Across Crawl Forward Main Plover Stalactite Ascend Cross Geyser Message Plugh Stalagmite Axe D (Down) Giant Ming Pottery Steps Back Dark Gold Mirror Pyramid Stream Barrier Debris Grate Moss Rations Surface Bars Depression Gully N (North) Reservoir SW Batteries Description H2O NE Retreat Table Beans Diamond Hall Nest Return Tote Beanstalk Done Hill North Right Touch Bear Door Hole Northeast Road Treasure Bed Down House Northwest Rock Trident Bedquilt Downstream In Nugget Rod Troll Bird Downwind Inside NW Room Tunnel Bottle Dragon Inward Office Rug U (Up) Box Dwarf Issue Oil S (South) Up Building Dwarves Jar Onward SE Upstream Cage E (East) Jewelry Oriental Secret Upward Canyon East Jump Out Shadow Valley Carpet Egg Key Outdoors Shell Vase Cave Eggs Keys Outside Slab Velvet Cavern Emerald Knife Over Slabroom Vending Chain Entrance Knives Oyster Slit View Chasm Examine Lamp Passage Silver Volcano Chest Exit Lantern Pearl Snake W (West) Clam Figure Leave Persian South Wall Climb Fissure Left Pillow Southeast Water Cobblestone Floor Look Pirate Southwest West Coins Food Low Pit Spelunker Xyzzy Continue Forest Machine Plant Spice Y2 This list is only for the 350-point original Adventure.
