Does the Crowther only (i.e. scoreless, mostly a simulation, no
fantasy elements, few puzzles) 1972 version of "Adventure" for the
PDP-10(?) still exist anywhere? There was a recent discussion about
this in rec.games.int-fiction and I thought maybe somebody here has a
clue. Everything currently available seems to be derived from Don
Woods' 1977 350-points rewrite.
Any clues? Oh and if you have something it would be very nice to
upload it to ftp.gmd.de/incoming/if-archive, the storehouse for
"interactive fiction" as I am sure many people here already know. Some
people have suggested that the code is lost.

thanks and sorry for intruding here, I figured some people here might
know.
