Adventure Land by Scott Adams, (no, not that one, the other one) published by Adam's Adventure International, is widely regarded as the game that kicked off the text adventure genre for microcomputers, as well as being the first of that genre on a microcomputer.

You can play all of Adventure International's games using the ScottFree emulator, as Adams regained rights to his games after the company went bankrupt, and released all of them as "Free to use."

I should probably dump the ZX81 I have and get a ViC-20 instead. Anyone selling?

I remember finding my late dads C64 in about 1995 when I was a little kid. I played spy vs spy because at around 5 in 1997 I started reading MAD magazines he left around. Then I learned BASIC and by 8 in 2001 I was obsessed with programming. Great MIDI soundtrack on that game.

The SID in the C64 was, and is still, an amazing piece of silicon.

Adventure Land wasn't bad. IIRC, my tip would be you need to put mud on yourself to cure the chiggers.

Really enjoying the trip down memory lane with these posts, thank you.

It's probably not one of a kind, that was a popular game. I will say this is the first I've seen in ages.

I gave US$5 for this one. The guy had a set of Commodore joysticks and a vicmodem as well he tried to sell me, but I'm like "I'm only buying this because it's a piece of history, not because I can use it."

I sold my commodore, joystick, games (on cassettes) around 1984. I never seemed to have time to enjoy them after getting a real job and I was working on mainframes and micros all day at work. Kind of wish I had kept them now.

lol yes, they're easy enough to emulate. I'd kind of like to have one I can plug this cartridge in to.
