Adventure © 1976 Crowther, Will
The player controls a character through simple text commands to explore a cave rumored to be filled with wealth. Players earn predetermined points for acquiring treasure and escaping the cave alive, with the goal to earn the maximum number of points offered.
Also known as ADVENT, Colossal Cave and Colossal Cave Adventure.
The concept bore out from Crowther's background as a caving enthusiast, with the game's cave structured loosely around the Mammoth Cave system in Kentucky.
Adventure is the first known work of interactive fiction and, as the first text adventure game, is considered the precursor for the adventure game genre. The game also contributed towards the role-playing and roguelike genres.
