Software on Floppy Disc, ADVENTURE
notes: label: Description
content: This eight-inch floppy disc is labelled in hand "ADVENTURE". The donor, a programmer by profession, said of this program: "Adventure was one of the first computer games that really took the world by storm. I can't tell you how many hours I spent pounding away on there trying to make my way through the Colossal Caves. It was all text based. It starts you out at a warehouse, it describes the stream flowing down,and go through the cave. And the idea was to pick up as much stuff as you can. And you had to be a little devious. . . I can't tell you how many programmers whiled away their hours playing Adventure instead of doing productive work."
