  ADVENT /ad'vent/ n. The prototypical computer adventure game, first
     designed by Will Crowther on the {PDP-10} in the mid-1970s as an attempt
     at computer-refereed fantasy gaming, and expanded into a puzzle-oriented
     game by Don Woods at Stanford in 1976. (Woods had been one of the
     authors of {INTERCAL}.) Now better known as Adventure or Colossal Cave
     Adventure, but the {{TOPS-10}} operating system permitted only
     six-letter filenames. See also {vadding}, {Zork}, and {Infocom}.
  
     This game defined the terse, dryly humorous style since expected in
     text adventure games, and popularized several tag lines that have become
     fixtures of hacker-speak: "A huge green fierce snake bars the way!" "I
     see no X here" (for some noun X). "You are in a maze of twisty little
     passages, all alike." "You are in a little maze of twisty passages, all
     different." The `magic words' {xyzzy} and {plugh} also derive from this
     game.
  
     Crowther, by the way, participated in the exploration of the Mammoth &
     Flint Ridge cave system; it actually _has_ a `Colossal Cave' and a
     `Bedquilt' as in the game, and the `Y2' that also turns up is cavers'
     jargon for a map reference to a secondary entrance.

  ADVENT
  
     <games> /ad'vent/ The prototypical computer {Adventure} game,
     first implemented by Will Crowther for a {CDC} computer
     (probably the 6600?) as an attempt at computer-refereed
     fantasy gaming.
  
     ADVENT was ported to the {PDP-10}, and expanded to the
     350-point {Classic} puzzle-oriented version, by Don Woods of
     the {Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory} (SAIL).  The
     game is now better known as Adventure, but the {TOPS-10}
     {operating system} permitted only six-letter filenames.  All
     the versions since are based on the SAIL port.
  
     David Long of the {University of Chicago} Graduate School of
     Business Computing Facility (which had two of the four
     {DEC20}s on campus in the late 1970s and early 1980s) was
     responsible for expanding the cave in a number of ways, and
     pushing the point count up to 500, then 501 points.  Most of
     his work was in the data files, but he made some changes to
     the {parser} as well.
  
     This game defined the terse, dryly humorous style now expected
     in text adventure games, and popularised several tag lines
     that have become fixtures of hacker-speak: "A huge green
     fierce snake bars the way!"  "I see no X here" (for some noun
     X).  "You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike."
     "You are in a little maze of twisty passages, all different."
     The "magic words" {xyzzy} and {plugh} also derive from this
     game.
  
     Crowther, by the way, participated in the exploration of the
     Mammoth & Flint Ridge cave system; it actually *has* a
     "Colossal Cave" and a "Bedquilt" as in the game, and the "Y2"
     that also turns up is cavers' jargon for a map reference to a
     secondary entrance.
  
     See also {vadding}.
