Okay, I get the reference to Colossal Cave, but what
does this have
to do with microcomputers, as the introduction seems to imply? I
recall that the original was done on a DECSystem 10, not a micro. (A
DEC FE got me a tape of the source and database and I converted it to
run on a CDC 6000 series machine--I should have been fired for all
the lost company time that resulted, but somehow I escaped).
Chuck, Get Lamp is a documentary that covers adventure games. He even
went to the cave where the first Adventure was based on. It's done by the
same guy that did the BBS Documentary. It's been in the works for about 4
years or so.
