This is one implementation of Adventure that deserves its own listing. Mr. Walton has taken the spellcasting
code from Balances
and grafted it onto Colossal Cave, with amusing results. Much easier
than the original - who needs keys when you have Rezrov, or a lamp when you
have Frotz? Only two things are less convenient: teleportation words like
"xyzzy" are one-way, and the bear won't follow you (which means you actually
need magic to win).
