Title: The Very Big Cave Adventure by CRL/St Bride's School
Post by: ComSoft6128 on 07:23, 21 March 22
Partial walk-thru of the commercial game released in 1986 by the CRL group, the game is a spoof of the original 'Colossal Cave Adventure'.
This was fun....."You know what to do" - Har Har.
Notes:
1. Bad language lands you in the "Swear Box" and then right back to the beginning of the game.
2. The "Very Rude Word" on the wall in the Spectrum version is "Commodore".

I've previously read some of these articles. St Bride's School were definitely a mysterious, eccentric and very, er, strange outfit... :)
