===A Short History===
Time flies. The copyright date on my game, [[Adventure:Pirate's Adventure|Pirate's Adventure]], reads 1978. It seems like yesterday, but it has been two and a half years since I started on my Adventures . . .
At the time I was working as a systems programmer for Stromberg Carlson when I was first introduced to the classic Adventure game written by Crowther and Woods to run on a DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) PDP-10. After playing for only a few minutes I was hooked. It took almost ten days of early-morning and late-evening sessions before I achieved the coveted score of 350 and the title of Grand Master. I had done it--I was a bona fide adventurer! Yet it seemed unfair that such a fascinating game was restricted to such an expensive machine.
