The first mirror world?

This article on how ADVENT aka Colossal Cave aka the original Adventure maps to the real cave is a true delight for anyone who still remembers XYZZY, PLUGH, and throwing a bird at a giant snake and “yes, with your bare hands.” Be sure to check out the photos of all the classic rooms.

Hmm, I never pictured it quite that cramped, though.

    Hmm, I think I’d have to lose about a third of my weight to be able to get into some of those spaces…

    That is one cool article. It would be almost a religious experience to stumble on that rock with “Y2” on it for those of us who played this as our first game.

    It might be listed somewhere in there, but there are downloads for a number of versions of adventure at http://www.rickadams.org/adventure/e_downloads.html
