Yep... the "New" Original Adventure... I ported it from some Unix source I
found... This version has an expanded dungeon, with a higher possible score.
Also! The package includes the adventure datafile source, and a "compiler" to
generate adventure database modules from special source files for writing
adventures... So, if you wanted to, you could modify the "standard" game, OR
OR write a completely new adventure. The main executable works kinda line the
Infocom games, and just interpetes the information in the data files... Really
cool... The only downside is, there is no explaination included on the syntax
for the adventure programming language... I suppose study of the include
game source would give enough info on how to write your own game...

Maybe if I get bored again, I'll try to get the CoCo version working... The OSK
version is available on Delphi. If someone wants to put it up on CIS/Genie/FTP
they are welcome to do so... If someone gets the CoCo version running properly,
let me know... The C source compiled fine for me on the CoCo (after a little
tweeking) but, the command parser "broke", and would only parse the first
word on a command line... strange...
