Adventure
=========

Adventure was the very first text adventure, written by Will Crowther and
Don Woods, circa 1977. Included here are two versions:

	Adventure		The original game
	Adventure550		An extended version of Adventure, at
				about twice the size.

The Original
============

This version was written by Graham Nelson, using his own adventure game
compiler, Inform. Inform produces code in the same format as was used by
Infocom, Inc. To play the game you need an interpreter for the Infocom
format. The one supplied (just click on the Adventure icon) was ported to
the Amiga by me. The full interpreter package can be found on Aminet, as

	game/role/itf175.lha

(This is the current release; later ones will have a different filename
to reflect the version number.)

Adventure 550
=============

This version was written by David Platt, and is about twice the size of
the original Adventure (the maximum score is 550 points, hence Adventure
550). This port has an Amiga specific front-end, with proper command line
editing, a command line history (use the cursor up/down keys to step
through previously entered commands) and file requesters for the save and
restore operations. It requires at least Kickstart 2.04. It is based on
source posted to Usenet by Ken Wellsch.

Credits
