/ad'vent/ The prototypical computer {adventure} game,
first implemented by Will Crowther for a {CDC} computer
(probably the {CDC 6600}?) as an attempt at computer-refereed
fantasy gaming.

ADVENT was ported to the {PDP-10}, and expanded to the
350-point {Classic} puzzle-oriented version, by Don Woods of
the {Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory} (SAIL). The
game is now better known as Adventure, but the {TOPS-10}
{operating system} permitted only six-letter filenames. All
the versions since are based on the SAIL port.

David Long of the {University of Chicago} Graduate School of
Business Computing Facility (which had two of the four
{DEC20s} on campus in the late 1970s and early 1980s) was
responsible for expanding the cave in a number of ways, and
pushing the point count up to 500, then 501 points. Most of
his work was in the data files, but he made some changes to
the {parser} as well.

This game defined the terse, dryly humorous style now expected
in text adventure games, and popularised several tag lines
that have become fixtures of hacker-speak: "A huge green
fierce snake bars the way!" "I see no X here" (for some noun
X). "You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike."
"You are in a little maze of twisty passages, all different."
The "magic words" {xyzzy} and {plugh} also derive from this
game.

Crowther, by the way, participated in the exploration of the
Mammoth & Flint Ridge cave system; it actually *has* a
"Colossal Cave" and a "Bedquilt" as in the game, and the "Y2"
that also turns up is cavers' jargon for a map reference to a
secondary entrance.

See also {vadding}.

(1996-04-01)

ADVENT: /ad´vent/, n. The prototypical computer adventure game, first designed by Will
Crowther on the PDP-10 in the mid-1970s as an
attempt at computer-refereed fantasy gaming, and expanded into a
puzzle-oriented game by Don Woods at Stanford in 1976. (Woods had been one
of the authors of INTERCAL.) Now better known as
Adventure or Colossal Cave Adventure, but the
TOPS-10 operating system permitted only six-letter
filenames in uppercase. See also vadding,
Zork, and Infocom.

Figure 1. Screen shot of the original ADVENT game

Orange River Chamber
You are in a splendid chamber thirty feet high. The walls are frozen rivers of
orange stone. An awkward canyon and a good passage exit from east and west
sidesof the chamber.

A cheerful little bird is sitting here singing.

>drop rod
Dropped.

>take bird
You catch the bird in the wicker cage.

>take rod
Taken.

>w
At Top of Small Pit
At your feet is a small pit breathing traces of white mist. A west passage ends
here except for a small crack leading on. 

Rough stone steps lead down the pit.
                                                                             
>down

In Hall of Mists
You are at one end of a vast hall stretching forward out of sight to the west.
There are openings to either side. Nearby, a wide stone staircase leads
downward. The hall is filled with wisps of white mist swaying to and fro almost
as if alive. A cold wind blows up the staircase. There is a passage at the top
of a dome behind you.

Rough stone steps lead up the dome.

This game defined the terse, dryly humorous style since expected in
text adventure games, and popularized several tag lines that have become
fixtures of hacker-speak: “A huge green fierce snake bars the
way!” “I see no X here” (for some noun X). “You
are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.” “You are
in a little maze of twisty passages, all different.” The
‘magic words’ xyzzy and
plugh also derive from this game.
