Here's another program I've come across -

Colossal Cave

A port of the original Crowther & Woods adventure game - written in QC by David Stevenson.

No idea if this is public domain or not...

Was that not part of the Sinclair Adventures Pack?

OOooo! I know the QUANTA library has loads of adventures. But I don't think it's one of them.

Rich,

if it is really a port of the original Crowther/Woods ADVENT (which I can't really judge), then this

(especially the U.S-flagged box) might answer the question.

I don't think that would apply to ports by other people, just the original.

No - it only applies to the original source code - I doubt David Stevenson just copied the C source code into GC and hit compile - although he might have....

Wonder if it's the Quanta library?
