## Description
Because, like Breakout, no platform is complete until it has its own port,
this is the iPad’s welcome party to the community of real gaming platforms:
its own conversion of _ADVENTURE_ , the original (!) text adventure game,
sending virtual spelunkers in search of underground treasures in a magical,
factual cave complex for over three decades now, accepting player input
through a two-word text parser on machines as diverse as the PDP-10
minicomputer (enshrined here in the game’s help and history section, along
with hints, maps and the game’s original source code!) to Apple’s newest and
latest. All game output is written on the screen as though through an
imaginary teletype terminal, and the iPad’s virtual on-screen keyboard is
quite handy for entering the player’s instructions. Background illustrations
help to establish the scene, and text display sound effects reinforce the
terminal metaphor.
