Synopsis

Plot

Your adventure starts in a small, deserted mining town. Your objective is to capture Bigfoot and return him to civilisation, but first you have to find him. During your search, you will encounter many stereotypical old west themes, such as a desert, a gold mine and an Indian village. You will also have to find supplies, as you didn't think to bring any of your own.

Notes

The adventure is mentioned in Mickey Schmitt's Text Adventure Reference Guide so dates to at least as early as 1989.

This game was written using the Tex-Comp Adventure Editor and the data file saved in the Scott Adams TI-99/4A adventure format. It can be run on the TI-99/4A using the Scott Adams' Adventure cartridge or the data file can be extracted as a 'fiad' format file and played on any platform that supports the Bunyon adventure interpreter.

There are at least two versions of this game that can be distinguished from the title screen. One uses 'WELLCOME' (alongside many other errors), the other uses 'WELCOME' (and also corrects the other errors). The latter is assumed to be a corrected version.

Although the title screen says Welcome to Adventure #1, there are no other adventures known in the same series.
