ADVENTURE(6)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

adventure − an exploration game

SYNOPSIS

/usr/games/adventure

DESCRIPTION

The object of the game is to locate and explore Colossal Cave, find the treasures hidden there, and bring them back to the building with you.  The program is self-describing to a point, but part of the game is to discover its rules. 

To terminate a game, type “quit”; to save a game for later resumption, type “suspend”. 

BUGS

Saving a game creates a large executable file instead of just the information needed to resume the game.
