It's not Crowther's Adventure, but the Infocom games. Well, they started with the PDP-10 ZORK, and used
PDP-10
(architecture) systems to develop many of the others...
Based on, started with, used to develop, all true of course. Still, I
wouldn't exactly say a PDP-10 host is a requirement for historical
accuracy to run e.g. Seastalker. An Apple II would do fine.
