Would you like instructions? > y Somewhere nearby is Colossal Cave, where others have found fortunes in treasure and gold, though it is rumored that some who enter are never seen again. Magic is said to work in the cave. I will be your eyes and hands. Direct me with commands of 1 or 2 words. I should warn you that I look at only the first five letters of each word, so you'll have to enter "northeast" as "ne" to distinguish it from "north". You can type "help" for some general hints. For information on how to end your adventure, scoring, etc., type "info". - - - This program was originally developed by Willie Crowther. Most of the features of the current program were added by Don Woods. You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully. > seed 1635997320 Seed set to 1635997320 You're in front of building. > back You can't get there from here.

Version 2.5 was essentially the same as Version II; the cave and the hazards therein are unchanged, and top score is still 430 points. There are a few more hints, especially for some of the more obscure puzzles. There are a few minor bugfixes and cosmetic changes. You can now save a game and resume it at once (formerly you had to wait a while first), but it now costs you a few points each time you save the game. Saved games are now stored in much smaller files than before. > go back >>Foof!<< You're inside building. There are some keys on the ground here.
