About Encounter:

"Encounter" (also known as "Encounter Adventure") is an Oric game released in 1983 by Severn Software.

This is a classical text adventure where you enter text commands and the computer answers by describing what happens, where you are, items you can find around.

As usual, feel free to comment if you have remarks, suggestions, questions, or ideas of topics you'd like to be covered in my videos.
