= advent(6) = :doctype: manpage == NAME == advent - Colossal Cave Adventure == SYNOPSIS == *advent* [-l logfile] [-o] == DESCRIPTION == The original Colossal Cave Adventure from 1976 was the origin of all text adventures, dungeon-crawl (computer) games, and computer-hosted roleplaying games. This is the last version released by Crowther & Woods, its original authors, in 1995. It has been known as "adventure 2.5" and "430-point adventure". To learn more about the changes since the 350-point original, type 'news' at the command prompt. There is an 'adventure' in the BSD games package that is a C port by Jim Gillogly of the 1976 ancestor of this game. To avoid a name collision, this game builds as 'advent', reflecting the fact that the PDP-10 on which it originally ran limited filenames to 6 characters. This version is released as open source with the permission and encouragement of the original authors. == OPTIONS == -l:: Log commands to specified file. -o:: Old-style. Restores original interface, no prompt. == REPORTING BUGS == Report bugs to Eric S. Raymond .
