type ~i~ in place of ~inventory,~ ~x object~ instead of
~examine object,~ etc.^^";

credit for a treasure, you must have left it safely in the
building, though you get partial credit just for locating it.
You lose points for getting killed, or for quitting, though
the former costs you more. There are also points based on how
much (if any) of the cave you've managed to explore; in
particular, there is a large bonus just for getting in (to
distinguish the beginners from the rest of the pack), and
there are other ways to determine whether you've been through
some of the more harrowing sections.^^";

section.^^";

print "Perhaps the first adventurer was a mulatto slave named Stephen
Bishop, born about 1820: `slight, graceful, and very handsome';
a `quick, daring, enthusiastic' guide to the Mammoth Cave in the
Kentucky karst. The story of the Cave is a curious microcosm of
American history. Its discovery is a matter of legend dating
back to the 1790s; it is said that a hunter, John Houchin,
pursued a wounded bear to a large pit near the Green River and ";
print "stumbled upon the entrance. The entrance was thick with bats and
by the War of 1812 was intensively mined for guano, dissolved into
nitrate vats to make saltpetre for gunpowder. After the war prices
fell; but the Cave became a minor side-show when a dessicated Indian
mummy was found nearby, sitting upright in a stone coffin, surrounded
by talismans. In 1815, Fawn Hoof, as she was nicknamed after one of
the charms, was taken away by a circus, drawing crowds across America
(a tour rather reminiscent of Don McLean's song `The Legend of Andrew
McCrew'). She ended up in the Smithsonian but by the 1820s the Cave
was being called one of the wonders of the world, largely due to her
posthumous efforts.^^";
print "By the early nineteenth century European caves were big tourist
attractions, but hardly anyone visited the Mammoth, `wonder of the
world' or not. Nor was it then especially large (the name was a
leftover from the miners, who boasted of their mammoth yields of
guano). In 1838, Stephen Bishop's owner bought up the Cave.
Stephen, as (being a slave) he was invariably called, was by any
standards a remarkable man: self-educated in Latin and Greek, he
became famous as the `chief ruler' of his underground realm. He ";
print "explored and named much of the layout in his spare time, doubling
the known map in a year. The distinctive flavour of the Cave's
names - half-homespun American, half-classical - started with
Stephen: the River Styx, the Snowball Room, Little Bat Avenue,
the Giant Dome. Stephen found strange blind fish, snakes, silent
crickets, the remains of cave bears (savage, playful creatures,
five feet long and four high, which became extinct at the end of
the last Ice Age), centuries-old Indian gypsum workings and ever
more cave. His 1842 map, drafted entirely from memory, was still
in use forty years later.^^";
print "As a tourist attraction (and, since Stephen's owner was a
philanthropist, briefly a sanatorium for tuberculosis, owing to a
hopeless medical theory) the Cave became big business: for decades
nearby caves were hotly seized and legal title endlessly challenged.
The neighbouring chain, across Houchins Valley in the Flint Ridge,
opened the Great Onyx Cave in 1912. By the 1920s, the Kentucky Cave ";
print "Wars were in full swing. Rival owners diverted tourists with fake
policemen, employed stooges to heckle each other's guided tours,
burned down ticket huts, put out libellous and forged advertisements.
Cave exploration became so dangerous and secretive that finally in
1941 the U.S. Government stepped in, made much of the area a National
Park and effectively banned caving. The gold rush of tourists was,
in any case, waning.^^";
print "Convinced that the Mammoth and Flint Ridge caves were all linked in
a huge chain, explorers tried secret entrances for years, eventually
winning official backing. Throughout the 1960s all connections from
Flint Ridge - difficult and water-filled tunnels - ended
frustratingly in chokes of boulders. A `reed-thin' physicist,
Patricia Crowther, made the breakthrough in 1972 when she got through
the Tight Spot and found a muddy passage: it was a hidden way into
the Mammoth Cave.^^";
print "Under the terms of his owner's will, Stephen Bishop was freed in
1856, at which time the cave boasted 226 avenues, 47 domes, 23 pits
and 8 waterfalls. He died a year later, before he could buy his
wife and son. In the 1970s, Crowther's muddy passage was found on
his map.^^";
print "The Mammoth Cave is huge, its full extent still a matter of
speculation (estimates vary from 300 to 500 miles). Although this
game has often been called ~Colossal Cave~, it is actually a
simulation of the Bedquilt Cave region. Here is Will Crowther's
story of how it came about:^^";
print "~I had been involved in a non-computer role-playing game called
Dungeons and Dragons at the time, and also I had been actively
exploring in caves - Mammoth Cave in Kentucky in particular.
Suddenly, I got involved in a divorce, and that left me a bit
pulled apart in various ways. In particular I was missing my
kids. Also the caving had stopped, because that had become
awkward, so I decided I would fool around and write a program
that was a re-creation in fantasy of my caving, and also would
be a game for the kids, and perhaps some aspects of the
Dungeons and Dragons that I had been playing.^^";
print "~My idea was that it would be a computer game that would not be
intimidating to non-computer people, and that was one of the reasons
why I made it so that the player directs the game with natural
language input, instead of more standardized commands. My kids
thought it was a lot of fun.~ [Quoted in ~Genesis II: Creation
and Recreation with Computers~, Dale Peterson (1983).]^^";
print "Crowther's original FORTRAN program had five or so treasures, but
no formal scoring. The challenge was really to explore, though
there was opposition from for instance the snake. Like the real
Bedquilt region, Crowther's simulation has a map on about four
levels of depth and is rich in geological detail. A good example
is the orange column which descends to the Orange River Rock room
(where the bird lives): the real column is of orange travertine,
a beautiful mineral found in wet limestone.^^";
print "The game's language is loaded with references to caving, to `domes'
and `crawls'. A `slab room', for instance, is a very old cave whose
roof has begun to break away into sharp flakes which litter the
floor in a crazy heap. The program's use of the word `room' for
all manner of caves and places seems slightly sloppy in everyday ";
print "English, but is widespread in American caving and goes back as far
as Stephen Bishop: so the Adventure-games usage of the word `room'
to mean `place' may even be bequeathed from him.^^";
print "The game took its decisive step toward puzzle-solving when Don Woods,
a student at Stanford, debugged and expanded it. He tripled the
number of treasures and added the non-geological zones: everything
from the Troll Bridge onward, together with most of the antechambers
on the Bedquilt level. All of the many imitations and extensions
of the original Adventure are essentially based on Woods's 350-point
edition. (Many bloated, corrupted or enhanced - it depends how you
see it - versions of the game are in Internet circulation, and the
most useful way to identify them is by the maximum attainable score.
Many versions exist scoring up to around the 400s and 500s, and one
up to 1000. Woods himself continues to release new versions of his
game; most of the other extenders haven't his talent.)^^";
print "Although the game has veered away from pure simulation, a good
deal of it remains realistic. Cavers do turn back when their carbide
lamps flicker; there are indeed mysterious markings and initials on
the cave walls, some left by the miners, some by Bishop, some by
1920s explorers. Of course there isn't an active volcano in central
Kentucky, nor are there dragons and dwarves. But even these
embellishments are, in a sense, derived ";
print "from tradition: like most of the early role-playing games,
`Adventure' owes much to J. R. R. Tolkien's `The Hobbit', and the
passage through the mountains and Moria of `The Lord of the Rings'
(arguably its most dramatic and atmospheric passage). Tolkien
himself, the most successful myth-maker of the twentieth century,
worked from the example of Icelandic, Finnish and Welsh sagas.^^";
print "By 1977 tapes of `Adventure' were being circulated widely, by the
Digital user group DECUS, amongst others: taking over lunchtimes
and weekends wherever it went... but that's another story. (Tracy
Kidder's fascinating book `The Soul of a New Machine', a
journalist's-eye-view of a mainframe computer development group,
catches it well.)^^";
"This is a copy at third or fourth hand: from Will Crowther's original
to Donald Woods's 350-point edition to Donald Ekman's PC port to
David M. Baggett's excellent TADS version (1993), to this.^^";

places of Woods's original 350-point version are exactly those here.^^";

here and there: and restored some ~initial position~ messages from
objects, such as the (rather lame)^
^ There is tasty food here.^^
from source files which are certainly early but of doubtful
provenance. They seem to sit well with the rest of the text.^^";
print "The scoring system is the original, except that you no longer lose 4
points for quitting (since you don't get the score if you quit an
Inform game, this makes no difference) and, controversially, I award
5 points for currently carrying a treasure, as some early 1980s
ports did. The rank names are tidied up a little. The only
significant rule change is that one cannot use
magic words until their destinations have been visited.^^";

have added a very few messages to make them interact better with the
rest of the game. The probabilities are as in the original game.^^";

the sake of keeping the code small, I have omitted this feature, but
with some regrets.^^";
