- COLLOSAL CAVE ADVENTURE
- -----------------------
-
- This is the grand-daddy of them all. I don't know what sort of machine this
- first saw light of day on, it was yonks old when I first came across it,
- (whisper) eight years ago, on a HP3000 mini. There ain't no instructions
- 'cos thats part of the fun, but it's as well to know about SAVE, RESTORE and
- QUIT.
-
- This program was converted to the Archimedes by nailing it to a piece of
- wood and filling in the gaps with chewing gum. It reads its data from plain
- vanilla ASCII files so :
-
- a) you are on your honour not to cheat
-
- b) it pauses to read the disk quite often (tough, it's free ain't it)
-
- I solved the game donkey's years ago but have long since forgotten all the
- ins and outs so this version has only been partially tested. Hence no
- warranty is given about the action of this program, including and most
- especially the murder of your hours of patient exploration.
-
- I only spent a few hours converting this so send any grateful thoughts to
- the original authors. Have fun,
-
