Welcome to Crystal Cave Adventure! ********************************** About the game ============== This game is based on, and was intended as a sequel to, the adventure game developed by Willie Crowther at Stanford. The original FORTRAN author of this version is unknown. The game plays a lot like Adventure, except for a slightly smarter command parser, and a serious attempt to punish you for knowing anything you may have learned from Adventure. History ======= This version was recoded in C from the original FORTRAN and ported to the UNIX PC by Kevin O'Gorman around January 1, 1986. I ported it to an IRIX box in November 1993, and that's where it sat for many years, until I noticed that it seemed to have vanished from the net completely (at least, Google couldn't find any trace of it). So I tarted it up and released it into the wild again. Installation ============ See the INSTALL file for details. But basically it boils down to: ./configure make make install Copyright ========= From Kevin O'Gorman's original README: This program was translated from a UNIVAC FORTRAN program which bore a remarkable resemblance to the original Crowther & Woods Adventure code. Neither one bore any Copyright or Authorship notations, so I am presuming all this is in the public domain. I assert no rights to it, since I don't feel like claiming rights I wouldn't feel like defending in any case. Contact ======= Send any queries or bug reports to me. I am Glenn Hutchings . Happy spelunking!
