AdventureLand on the Commodore VIC-20; then Pirates Cove.  Later I had
Zork I, II, & III on my Commodore 128 (in C-64 mode).  The 128 would
also play the CP/M versions of Crystal Caverns (name???) since it had a
[via dual-boot] Z80 processor;  there were lots of text based games for
CP/M machines.  [Ah, CP/M, when the quality of a man was determined by
his understanding of "pip".]
