Adventure!

"You should know better than to pick up a duck in a dungeon"

Adventure!, the Quack of Dawn, is a mostly text adventure game writ in the classic style. The motive is entirely selfish, the purpose is pleasure, the player and programmer are intellectual equals, and the experience is very informal.

Adventure! is not just a game. It is a text adventure game system written in Apple HyperCard. Bill Atkinson conceived, designed and implemented HyperCard, an early and influential hypermedia system. HyperCard put the power of computer programming and database design into the hands of nonprogrammers. Bill is also well known as the principal designer and developer of Apple's graphical user interface (GUI) for the Apple Lisa and one of the first members of the Apple Macintosh design team and the creator of MacPaint.

Although you'll need HyperCard to run Adventure!, Eric's Edge Games has made Adventure! available with the magic of emulation. Not only will a downloadable version of Adventure! be available for your classic Apple Macintosh computer system. Adventure! will also be available as an emulated Apple Macintosh computer ready to run in Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, or Linux!

The Adventure! HyperCard stack is the game engine and user interface for playing text adventure games. The Adventure! Game Editor HyperCard stack is an interactive game editor for authors to create text adventure games. Including game content, the player, location descriptions, game items such as weapons, tools, and food, non-player characters, and game maps.
