I still remember when I was a kid... the first REAL adventure game - COLOSSAL CAVE...

 

Collosal Cave

 

I thought it was the most fantastic thing I'd ever seen... I spent HOURS trying to crack it!

 

It really had a certain mystique and magic about it.

 

And as it was a text-based adventure, you actually had to use your imagination to visualise the scenes in it. But the descriptions almost had a novel-esque quality to them... they were so well written.

 

Then after that.. followed Zork! But that's a whole new post!!!

I played this on a VAX 780 where the FORTRAN source was available so if one could read FORTRAN it could be solved without imagination. :D

 

I also played Dungeon which is the original Zork. Unfortunately the source was not available but we still solved it.
