My favorite Scott Adams adventure is Ghost Town. I just loved the "feel"

Me, too, but I did it on Compu$erve! (at 300 baud, with a VIC-MODEM,

Nice. Scott Adams was my favorite programmer when I was 13. I had
"Adventureland" and "Pirate's Island" in BASIC for the PET -
still
have the original tape. It gave me a life-long love for Interactive
Fiction. from a home-made terminal program in BASIC on my C-64
at $6/hour)
It's one of my favorites, too.
Who still remembers the red herring "purple
worm"? :)
I remember something about it. I don't think it sidetracked me too badly.
BTW, Scott Adams can be reached on the internet. Do a
web search on
"Adventure International" and "Scott Adams" and his website and
e-mail
address will turn up.
I did, quite a while back. I was a beta-tester on his VisualBasic "Return
to Pirate's Island" a couple of years ago.
