Many years ago (I'm thinking it was '83-'84) I took a computer class that
focused on BASIC progamming, applications, and games for the Apple II. I
remember the teacher showing off two adventure games: Scott Adams's
Adventureland, and then an all-text game based loosely on Around the World
In 80 Days.
There's certainly no end of ways to get a hold of Adventureland, but I
have never come across Around the World etc. Has anyone else played this
game? Better yet, do you know where I can get my hands on it?
I distinctly remember the teacher saying that the game, unlike
Adventureland, was public domain, if that gives anybody a hint or memory
jogger.
