Colossal Cave

Hi.

I'm only just getting to take a look at this game - and have noted I can Save, Load, Quit etc..
But I've also noticed that when I DO save and then quit, the words "Game Over" show up !!

[Although, I can re-launch, load a save and play on from the loaded save.]

So .... I'm wondering .... Is this whole game somehow "timed" in that I won't be allowed to continue if I go past a particular time limit ??

[I'm not bothered about getting everything right on a first play but I wouldn't want to have to keep starting over mid- game multiple times ]

Mad

I’ve been looking on-line and I don’t think it IS timed - but you CAN die 😉

However, that I don’t mind in a game that originated so long ago.
(I never played the original.)

And at least you get to die amid gorgeous graphics !!
