8kadv.gam is "Dunric's 8K Adventure" for TADS.
By: Paul Panks (dunric@yahoo.com)

This was converted by Mark Musante on June 24, 2004
to TADS for Windows/DOS/Linux.

Many thanks to Mark for converting my game. :)

This is a simple, 8k adventure game written for use in 
GW-Basic, Qbasic and PowerBASIC. The goal is to explore 
the castle south of town and retrieve a hidden scepter 
(missing from the throne room). It may be possible to 
convert this game to other BASIC interpreters. You might 
also try converting this game for play on Tiny BASIC 
(minus the color commands, of course!) 

8086 Tiny BASIC has around 5,200 bytes free, and this game 
currently stands at 10,870 bytes. A clever programmer might 
be able to convert it for play on other Tiny BASIC dialects 
(such as Minol 2.0 or Palo Alto Tiny BASIC).

There is also a C64/128 version of this game, available

Paul's 8K Adventure - As a personal challenge, I decided to 
write an adventure game in just under 8KB of RAM. The result 
is the game you see above. Actually very complete (a minor 
miracle considering how small the file is!) Works on VICE, 
MESS, and most others. For the Commodore 64 and 128. 

Both games are nearly identical.

Sincerely,
