[Redgeneral]

(Note this is not a proposal for inclusion into scummvm, its just stuff that seems terriably interesting)

Colossal Cave Adventure (also known as ADVENT, Colossal Cave, or Adventure) was created in 1976 and was the first adventure game.

The original Fortran code was discovered in an old backup of Don Woods' account. The sourcecode is at http://jerz.setonhill.edu/if/crowther/
