I have been playing adventure for several years now and can only get so far before an apparent stalemate occurs. I would appreciate a phone call from someone who is familiar with the game and knows the ins and outs of it. Clark Friedrichs (312) 979-4328, ihnss!caf

A not overly explicit *hint* for exploring the region beyond the plover room would be greatly appreciated. David I. Rubin

Nf-From: hpisla!wolpert Aug 27 12:58:00 1984 re: Adventure: finding the pirate's chest You do *not* have the maze entirely mapped. There is a room which has a passage leading NW. from the pit: E, then NW.

Have you mapped out *both* mazes ? Larry Fenske

There are faint rustling noises from the darkness behind you. I am having trouble finding the Pirtate's treasure chest in the maze. I have the maze all mapped out, but cannot locate the chest and I am really stumped at this point. I would appreciate hints, clues, etc., but would really like an answer! Anybody adventurous enough to reply? Mike Carper (...!ihnp4!ihuxp!superman)
rcpilz@ihuxj.UUCP (R. C. Pilz) (08/23/84)
To get the treasure chest back from the pirate, the following sequence will get you there. I am referencing the first move after you are in the maze. E,S,S,D,E,N,E,N,E,NW Then take treasure A quick way out of the maze is the following: SE,N,D,E,D then do your xyzzy to drop off the goodies. OK? If that doesn't do it, they rewrote it on me.

For the treasure chest to be there, the pirate has to have taken something from you.
gwyn@brl-tgr.ARPA (Doug Gwyn <gwyn>) (08/28/84)
The pirate's chest does not exist until you spot the pirate. There are two mazes; make sure you're searching the right one. Also, try all diagonal directions (e.g. SW) in all rooms.

WARNING: This gives away a detail on how to accompish something in the
game "adventure" (Colossal Cave). Don't keep reading if you do not wish
to be spoiled...
Why is it that one must leave the magazines at "Witt's End" to get
one, lousy, point? I don't understand (or are you supposed to?)

The final point was meant to drive you nuts trying to figure it out, that's all.
lyle@sjuvax.UUCP (lyle) (10/16/84)
Is there anyone out there who can give me a clue to my problem with adventure. When I want to cross the bridge I have to give something to the troll each time. Is there anyway of getting around him ? I know that the bear on the golden chain will scare him away but since he is on the other side of the bridge he is no help. If anyone can give me any clues they would be greatly appreciated. Also any clues on the game itself would be helpful, since I just started playing. Thanks alot in advance, Wayne Lyle . /sjuvax/lyle/cosmic muffin/

I'm not going to give it away as that is part of the idea behind adventure,
I will give a hint on crossing the bridge:
Think about the golden eggs. If you haven't found them, you need to.
Pay attention to the hints. They are cryptic and misleading, but they
actually do contain important information.

PS. I know what I'm talking about, I
spent a while trying to figure out
the hints and can get max points.
