Synopsis

Plot

The alien culture has built a huge world in the shape of a ring circling their sun. They left behind some strange creatures and a lot of advanced technology. Unfortunately, the world is headed for destruction and it is your job to save it before it plunges into the sun!!

Notes

Apparently inspired by Larry Niven's 1970 Ringworld novel, Circle World is a simple text adventure game in the style of Zork or Adventureland without many story elements. The player starts in an empty field and must start exploring in the hope of finding something.
Once in a while a "cat-like" kzin will rob the player of his or her items. The player is required to collect various items in order to solve puzzles.

Mentioned in the November 1981 Aardvark catalog.
