"Pirate Adventure " or "Pirate Cove" was a text-based adventure program written by Scott Adams and his wife Alexis.

Description

Published by Adventure International and the second game of the series, this text-based adventure game was one of many adventure games created by Scott Adams.

Gameplay involved moving from location to location, picking up any objects found there, and using them somewhere else to unlock puzzles. Commands took the form of verb and noun, e.g. "Climb Tree".

The player started the game in a flat, and progressed via a bit of magic to Pirates Island. Here, the player had to build a ship to reach Treasure Island and there find two pieces of treasure.
