Adventureland

Online version of Adventureland for TRS-80. A text adventure Scott Adams wrote in BASIC for the TRS-80 in 1978, the game that started Adventure International. The player roams a forest, swamps and caverns in search of 13 treasures to be carried to a store room, pestered on the way by bees, a bear and a dragon. Commands are typed for a parser of 2 words, verb and object. Built as an interpreter plus a separate game database, it spread within a few years to almost every home computer, from the Apple II and Atari to a VIC-20 cartridge and the TI-99/4A with its own module...

Tandy TRS-80 Computers

Online emulated version of Adventureland was originally developed for the TRS-80, a home computer sold by Tandy Corporation through its Radio Shack stores from 1977. Together with the Apple II and the Commodore PET it formed the "1977 trinity" of the first ready-made personal computers, and for several years it was the best selling of them.

The Model I is built around a Zilog Z80 CPU at 1.77 MHz with 4 to 48 KB of RAM, Level II BASIC from Microsoft in ROM and a text screen of 64 by 16 characters with 128 by 48 block graphics. Programs came on cassette tape or, with the expansion interface, on 5.25" floppy disks. The Model III of 1980 put the computer, the screen and the disk drives into one case.
