Adventure! That's what it was called. I used to play it on the old Vax terminals in the computer cluster, when my mother brought me into college with her. I never got very far, though. My little eight year old mind couldn't understand why I needed to use the rod to kill the spider, when I had a perfectly good sword in my backpack.

I had some piece of crap public domain program on my C64 that was called A Story. It was the same sort of thing.

I had a c64. It sucked. Still does.

Only thing good:

I still got the monitor, and its used for playing on the playstation. 2 reasons:

1) still got badass colour.
2) only has RCA hookups.
