> I still have a copy of the original text game, Adventure, on punch cards. XYZZY, Plover, Plugh, Fee Fie Foe Foo!

I originally played Adventure ("ADVENT") on a PDP-11 (actually an LSI-11) running RT-11 with 8" floppies, and a VT-100 serial terminal. Late 70's.

There are a number of websites (I don't recall the URLs offhand but Google will) that have the original Colossal Cave Adventure running, some of them with a VT100 terminal interface for verisimilitude.
