Flash Version of Adventure

chefmonkey writes "Of course, everyone remembers the old Atari 2600 game "Adventure." While you've been able to play it on a wide variety of emulators for a while, now playing in your web browser is just one click away.

    Kudos to those who get the reference. IN any case, this game's getting bookmarked. It'll be fun to tinker with.

    The little bird attacks the green snake, and in an astounding flurry drives the snake away.

    Oops, wrong Adventure.
