A 32K text-adventure game based on an unpublished adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game by Kim Ryan (who wrote it in 1984 and submitted it to TSR in 1985). It features 65 pages of text and publisher Good Deal Games promised there is no flicker in the game. First released at the 2015 Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Very short game that can be solved in 14 moves.

OMG. This looks awful. CYOA, not adventure. Don't click the first (retrogamingmagazine) link, as it leads to a page with a search box which in turn leads to a virus-ridden web site.

So it would come under the "Multiple Choice" genre if we chose to list it?

I'm not seeing this, I get an article about the game and if I use the search box above the "Donate" button I remain on the Retro Gaming Magazine website. Now I have NoScript and uBlock Origin in operation, could they be protecting me?

I'm using Avast. When I entered a search, it went BING BING BING, warning, warning, the world is about to end. Or something like that. :?
