The original can be found at: https://jerz.setonhill.edu/intfic/colossal-cave-adventure-source-code/ The Multics port at: https://gitlab.com/dps8m/Multics_Software/multics_dungn32b A bunch of others: https://rickadams.org/adventure/e_downloads.html On Fri, Mar 31, 2023, 11:06 PM Tarek Hoteit &lt;tarek(a)infocom.ai&gt; wrote: > Hello Eric.
