  Here's a ZIL version of the game where "xyzzy" and "plugh" first appeared: https://bitbucket.org/jmcgrew/zilf/src/tip/Examples/advent/advent.zil?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default https://bitbucket.org/jmcgrew/zilf/src/tip/Examples/advent/a...

    I have the oldest available Crowther version running using a DEC Fortran compiler. YOU ARE STANDING AT THE END OF A ROAD BEFORE A SMALL BRICK BUILDING . AROUND YOU IS A FOREST. A SMALL STREAM FLOWS OUT OF THE BUILDING AND DOWN A GULLY.
