Colossal Cave

"YOU ARE IN A MAZE OF TWISTY LITTLE PASSAGES, ALL ALIKE" Argh argh argh argh ARGH!!!! It took me *days* to map out that area in the original game (played on a Caltext LSI/3 in 1983) and I carefully hoarded that paper map for years. This was a rush back through time but with colourful pictures to go with it. As it turned out YAIAMOTLPAA didn't turn out to be as difficult as the original. As Wikipedia has it, this one is the grandaddy of all subsequent fantasy games. Play it just to see how today's games got started. Better still, play the original text-based game. Just don't play 'Zork' if you want to keep your sanity. Oh yes. I've been down Bedquilt. I was a caver (spelunker) for decades and back in 2003 I finally got to poke around in the mud in that section of Mammoth Cave. Good times made better by memories of the game.

Perfect for a cozy night after being worn out from work. I look forward to conquering the full cave!

This really is a fun and great game and the creators have only improved it since it was first released... it has a lot of replay potential and some seriously challenging puzzles. Highly recommend this and suggest you all find all the secrets and aim for the high score.

I've completed this game twice so far and really like it. My two end game scores have been 333 and 335 out of a possible 350 points. But you don't have to get the full 350 points to win the game. I started playing PC games in 1987 and had always heard of the non-graphical text only games "Colossal Cave Adventure" and the other releases called "Adventure" and always thought of trying them. Thank you Roberta and Ken for creating a graphical 3D version of this game.

Colossal Cave keeps the soul of the original but makes it feel alive again. Great atmosphere, fun exploration, and puzzles that actually make you think. It doesn’t rush you or hold your hand. Just pure adventure and discovery! If you like exploration, old-school adventure vibes, gaming history, or all of the above, this is an easy recommendation!
