A Quick Run Around the House: A Sample Adventure

## Description

_A Quick Run Around the House: A Sample Adventure_ was created by Roger
Kenner, the author of the _Adventure Game & Interactive Fiction Generator_, to
demonstrate the abilities of his teaching tool. The player searches a house
for a disk containing Kenner’s programme.

The interface consists of two parts: the upper part of the screen contains a
written description of the scenery and the lower part contains two rows of
commands. The upper part changes depending on the situation; usually there are
just the directions the player may try to move next (the cardinal directions,
up and down) listed. The lower row never changes and allows to get word
explanations, get objects, use an object, list the inventory or put something
down. All those commands are associated with a key and sometimes, e.g. when
trying to take something, a pop-up menu comes up and the player has to choose
an object from a list.
