Hi all. This is my first ever posting, so please excuse any blunders.
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a version of Colossal Cave
(the original Adventure game) for the mac. By this I mean either the
source code, or an executable application. I believe the game is in
the public domain, but I'm not sure. Please respond via the net or by
e-mail directly to me (zulauf@orbit.Colorado.EDU).
Thanks in advance!

I have been addicted to the original Adventure since I cound a copy of it
about eight years ago for my Apple II +, and I've always missed it on my
Mac. Somehow the more sophisticated games and graphics never gave me as much
pleasure so I was surprised to see it mentioned in Online magazine last year
as a file that could be downloaded from Compuserve. I can't remember where
it was or what the filename is, but you should be able to track it down. All
I have now is the game itself. It was translated and distributed by
James Associates
7329 Meadow Ct.
Boulder, CO 80301
I sent them the $10 fee they asked for (in the promise of uploading more
similar software) and they promptly sent me a map of the cave so I could
remember how to do the whole thing once more. If you can't find the file
on line or don't get on Compuserve, try contacting them directly.s57783@zeus.usq.EDU.AU (chapman alan) (06/19/91)
