I and a colleague extended the PLI version of Adventure

Have a look at
www.inform-fiction.org
(I'm writing a quite large game in Inform 7 at the moment)
Inform 6 and TADS 2 and 3 are domain-specific procedural programming
languages for creating text adventures. You might enjoy them
(writing games is indeed more fun thatn playing them). I7 is a
domain-specific declarative programming language. Cool stuff.
I still have hardcopy of the source code and the
database.
