About

A text based Adventure Game for the TRS-80, later enhanced with visual scenes in various ports. Only allowed 2-Word input and was largely based on Colossal Cave Adventure.
Storyline

"Adventureland" is the first interactive fiction game by Scott Adams. In using two-word verb-noun-combinations the player tries to retrieve 13 lost treausures in a fanatasy world.
Initially the game did not feature any graphics at all. As time progressed, though, ports to more advanced systems were enhanced with visuals.
