An excellent first generation (text only) adventure for the average adventurer. Read Review
Journey into the Caverns of Doom. A text adventure for the seasoned adventurer. Written in 100% machine code, it has over 100 rooms and many tricks and traps to hinder your adventuring.
Will you find your way out?
The compass in the lower right of the screen displays all obvious directions of travel. In addition to these directions there will often be other places which you may go to. For example, GO PIT, etc. To travel in a given direction you may enter an entire command such as GO NORTH for north or you may abbreviate by simply typing N and ENTER to achieve the same result. In the case of NW, NE, SW and SE the two letter version must be used.
All commands must be entered as two words, a verb and a noun. The only exception to this is the PUT command which is entered as follows: PUT (OBJECT). The program will then ask for a one word location to place the object.
Your score is increased by 10 points for reaching certain locations and for doing certain things. To find out what your score is at any time enter SCORE. Maximum score is 80 points.
Only first four letters required.
