Synopsis

Notes

A tiny version of Adventure/Colossal Caves designed to fit in the standard 1K memory of the KIM-1 and playable on its six built-in 7-segment display LED panels!

It featured 24 locations, five objects to be used, two animals (a bird and a dragon), a magic word, and two treasures to retrieve.

You can see the game in action in this YouTube video. The 32-page manual is available on archive.org. Magazine articles from the time say it initially retailed at $24.95!

There is a full review of the game in issue 29 of the Micro 6502 Journal. The review mentions that the game came with a separate scoring program which would analyse how you performed in the adventure and allow you to compare your score with friends.

Sold commercially by ARESCO and also directly by the author himself.
