Adventure is a video game published in the UK by Micro Power.[1] It was released on the Acorn Atom in 1982[2] and on the Acorn Electron and BBC Micro in 1983.[1]
Gameplay
The game is a text adventure, being an attempted reconstruction of the original Adventure computer game, although it is not very faithful to the original mainframe version.[3]

In this version of the game, the player must rescue a princess from the Magic Caverns.[4] There are over a hundred different locations and many problems must be solved in order to achieve this goal.[4] The game supports one or two word commands and the most useful commands are available via function key shortcuts e.g. INVENTORY, CHECK SCORE etc.[4]
The game's instructions do not reveal all valid verbs, as it is left to the player to discover them.[4] The instructions also mention that the Arabian Nights folk tales may provide useful hints to the player.[4]
The Acorn Atom version of the game requires 12K of RAM[2] and is unrelated to another Acorn Atom title (a text adventure game engine), also called Adventure from Acornsoft.[5]
