For the record, that's a really ancient version of OS/8 Adventure.

The current (2009) is much more stable as it uses the USR to open the 
files, allowing you to move them around without causing ADVENT to crash 
(the save image has the disk locations for the files being used, meaning 
it'll crash if they move around.)

https://www.rickmurphy.net/advent/advbin.rx has a floppy image with 2.4 
binaries.
