First release of Barry C. Breen's "Adventures in Pascal" (OMSI Pascal, RSX-11M, 1980-1983), the 350 point Colossal Cave Adventure, ported to classic Pascal compilers.

Each zip contains the game, its data files and a short README.txt:

File Platform Built with
advpas350-agon.zip Agon Light (MOS 3) PASTA/80, with overlays
advpas350-cpm.zip CP/M on a Z80, TPA up to at least $E800 Turbo Pascal 3
advpas350-dos.zip MS-DOS Turbo Pascal 5.5
advpas350-next.zip ZX Spectrum Next PASTA/80, with overlays (added later, see below)
advpas350-macos-arm64.zip MacOS Arm64 Free Pascal
advpas350-linux-arm64.zip Linux Arm64 Free Pascal
advpas350-linux-x86_64.zip Linux x86_64 Free Pascal
advpas350-windows.zip Windows x86_64 Free Pascal

The Agon, CP/M and DOS versions complete the 350 point walkthrough with identical transcripts. They take an optional random seed on the command line (advent 1234), and the same seed gives the same game everywhere. Saving and restoring games ("suspend") works like in the original.

The Agon and Next versions have also been played on a real machine, including saving and restoring a game. The CP/M and DOS versions have been tested in emulators only (tnylpo, emu2). Feedback is welcome.
