Hi Eric, The ADVENT game can be downloaded from the Lib-05-Games section of the old CompuServe's Model 100 SIG library, which I have mirrored on Web 8201 here <http://www.web8201.net/default.asp?content=files/body.asp%3Fname=Lib%2D05%2DGames%26url=M100SIG/Lib%2D05%2DGames> .
As a text adventure, I think it's pretty good. There's the potential of creating a completely different adventure by writing your own set of ADV#.DO files, so that sort of thing was pretty unique at the time. Check it out!
