Gabrial: I used to have a copy of Adventure that worked fine under MVS (albeit 30 years ago). Its been ages since I have thought about it. A fellow sysprog did the fortran conversion and we actually (at one time) had a map to the entire cave. I will look for it but to be honest I just do not remember where I put the reel of tape. Also to put a kink in the chain, IIRC the source was in a Panvalet library. I could have put in a PDS as well but maybe not (like I said it has been ages). I think he converted Star Trek and something called Hunt The Wumpus. The wumpus may have been in VSBASIC but again its been ages. If I can find the tape you are certainly welcome to it.
