"XYZZY" or "PLUGH" would be more recognizable. But, like many
puzzles in
Colossal Cave, it's obvious AFTER you know it, but not before.
Well I got "THE LAMP". Now to find the cave... and buy the proper
9 pin null modem cable if they still make them. I can't keep stealing
from the PC here.
I am just finding playing
ADVENTURE on the PDP-8 (SBC6120)
with a IDE drive just playable for a text game. Did most of the
people play ADVENTURE on a classic machine or wait for PC version
or clone of the game. I remember playing a similar game on the COCO II
but I think it was from Cassette rather than mini-floppy.
