"That was some party last night... you must have had about twenty
beers. Or was it thirty? As you try to recall, the night becomes
a giant blur, swimming around and around in your head. It spins
faster, and you feel dizzy. Don't worry, though, you're lying down.
On the ground...\n

Above are the first few lines of cmu.adv, a file which probably still exists on the CMU afs server. Apparently, a similar attempt at writing a CMU text adventure was made in 1986, in some arcane, lisp-like language.
This is a repository for the soon-to-be coolest text adventure on campus! CMU.ADV is written in TADS3, and compiles to a *.t3 format, readable by the frob interpreter.
