Good version of a timeless classic
     
by mwalker · June 20, 2010

The Original Adventure (or advent) is a classic from old-school computing. The very first example of the genre of Interactive Fiction, reproduced in all its glory on your iPhone! Automatic game saving is included. Even the background picture (two hiking boots) shows attention to detail. It's not green text on a black screen, but in all other ways, the game is as you remember it from long, long, ago, back when Federal Gravitation Laws required you to walk uphill both ways to school. Download it already! It's free, and (let's be honest here) it's not really a computer if Adventure doesn't run on it.

Didn't work

Got the initial screen but couldn't get it to start.

Classic text adventure reborn

This is a very good copy of humungus cave. However it is not the original adventure, it is as stated humungus cave. That is the name for the 1000 point version. However only four stars due to the "put water in pitcher" glitch.

Very poor update has left the app useless. Doesn't seem you can play the original adventure anymore. The text field has always been very poor, which is kinda a big deal for a text adventure game. <br/><br/>Recommend you move on and try another app.

Bug

Original Version Gone - Sad

This was much better when it was just the original Colossal Cave game. It would have been nice to have kept the original 350 point game as on option.

I like it. But.

Getting around in the game is awkward. IMHO, focus should automatically be set to the input area after each move. I used to play the original-ish version on the Honeywell AN/UYK 65-V when I was new in the US Navy, back in the 80’s. So it’s kind of reminiscent. Just having to manually set focus to the input area every move is annoying and takes away from the enjoyment of playing. I’ve played a version, maybe on an Android platform, that had a compass rose which also included up and down, that you touched to move around.

Great

Yes. Great. That is all.
