Colossal Cave (or Adventure) was the first text adventure game.
 
Its text was translated into Lojban by [[User:Nick Nicholas|Nick Nicholas]] in 1991. [[jbocre: Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]] implemented it in Inform in 2002, thus outputting a z-machine interpretable file. He also touched up the text a bit, as it was written before [[jbocre: the Great Rafsi Reallocation|the Great Rafsi Reallocation]] of 1993. Its Lojban name is '''nuntalyli'u'''.  You'll need a [http://www.inform-fiction.org/zmachine/interpreters.html -Machine interpreter] to run it.
