Colossal Cave 3D

This game was amazing!! This genre of games are what a lot of people are looking for! It’s been the first of its kind for years!! I bought an iPad for specific games like this over 10 years ago, but slowly they just stopped making them. I have to admit, without the walkthrough I was clueless, as in playing a totally different game. I explored (which I love to do) the lower caves all the way up to a futuristic area, that seemed so different from the caves. But what do I know?!?! When using the walkthrough, the game was different from what I had been exploring and would have never come to the conclusion as to the real game. But it was fun just exploring!! What’s funny, is all the places I had been to, very few were part of the game! Was not crazy about it being a point system. The main concern I have is that you can die and have to start over, so save your game ….OFTEN!! I rate games, but never a review, so this tells other gamers, this game was a 10 out of 10 for me! Worth the price!! Please make more of these! Always looking for non linear, NO violence, (including dying) adventure/exploration games. Thank you developers!!

I started following this amazing couple for their exploits outside the gaming world and that led me to Ken’s revelation about Colossal Cave 2.0! I had played Advent back in the day on a PDP 8 and lost a ton of productivity the fall of ‘78 … and again on my Apple Lisa a few years later, so had to try this version. It does not disappoint!!!! Having achieved 350 all those years ago, it’s nice to just explore and enjoy all the nuisances in this iOS 2.0 version. The graphics are great and the sounds are even better! I have never been tempted to go down the VR journey …. but I will now (dang it, but 🎉 at the same time). Special shout out to Roberta for the video about the Crothers and the history of the game itself. I loved those details as much as I love the warmth of bunny slippers on a chilly nautical morning 😉 Thank you, thank you! Ten thumbs up from me 👍🏼

I absolutely love the feel of the game: Simple, pretty, a world that wants to be explored! Only issue I see is the controls dont feel great on iOS. Its a bit awkward at times, and I think could easily be updated. Games like Myst (Mobile I think) or XON, or even Nimian Legends have similar experience and I think a similar movement / look system could be implemented! Otherwise, I look forward to further exploring "The Cave"!
