A playthrough of Microsoft Adventure, published by IBM as a launch title for the IBM PC when introduced in the autumn of 1981.
Microsoft Adventure, the first complete implementation for personal computers of Will Crowther and Don Wood's PDP-10 mainframe game Colossal Cave Adventure. Programmed by Microsoft employee Gordon Letwin under the company name Softwin Associates and originally published for the TRS-80 by Microsoft in 1979 as the company's first product under its newly established Consumer Product division. Microsoft Adventure was later re-released as a launch title, and as the first ever commercially available game for the IBM PC when introduced in the autumn of 1981.

I was hoping to archive a full score of 350 points but unfortunately, I missed something along the way.
A few typed-in words, like the magic word Xyzzy, might not make sense if you haven't explored the game prior.
I'm hoping to make a gameplay video in the future playing one of the earliest PDP-10 mainframe versions known to exist.
