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".

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

446 Do you really want to quit now?
452 You scored 27 out of a possible 430, using 87 turns.
454 You are obviously a rank amateur. Better luck next time.
