12 Somewhere nearby is Colossal Cave, where others have found fortunes in
13 treasure and gold, though it is rumored that some who enter are never
14 seen again. Magic is said to work in the cave. I will be your eyes
15 and hands. Direct me with commands of 1 or 2 words. I should warn
16 you that I look at only the first five letters of each word, so you'll
17 have to enter "northeast" as "ne" to distinguish it from "north".
18 You can type "help" for some general hints. For information on how
19 to end your adventure, scoring, etc., type "info".

86 You have taken a drink from the stream. The water tastes strongly of
87 minerals, but is not unpleasant. It is extremely cold.
95 I can only tell you what you see as you move about and manipulate
96 things. I cannot tell you where remote things are.

113 There is a shiny brass lamp nearby.

221 I'm game. Would you care to explain how?
225 I'm game. Would you care to explain how?
233 Thank you, it was delicious!
245 I'm afraid I don't understand.
249 Okay, from now on I'll only describe a place in full the first time

314 Open Adventure is an author-approved open-source release of
315 Version 2.5 with, as yet, no gameplay changes.
316 Version 2.5 was essentially the same as Version II; the cave and the
317 hazards therein are unchanged, and top score is still 430 points.
318 There are a few more hints, especially for some of the more obscure
319 puzzles. There are a few minor bugfixes and cosmetic changes. You
320 can now save a game and resume it at once (formerly you had to wait a
321 while first), but it now costs you a few points each time you save the
322 game. Saved games are now stored in much smaller files than before.

366 You scored 27 out of a possible 430, using 70 turns.
368 You are obviously a rank amateur. Better luck next time.
