Adventure Family Tree
From IFWiki
The most complete Adventure Family Tree, showing various ports of Adventure as a hierarchy, was compiled by Nathanael Culver.
In a nomenclature originating with Russel Dalenberg, the versions and variants of Adventure are often referred to by short abbreviations encoding their latest author's name and their maximum score. IFWiki uses these abbreviations, for example Adventure: The Interactive Original (NELS0350).
The introductory paragraph to Nathanael Culver's detailed web page states:
An incomplete chronicle of Crowther and Woods' Colossal Cave Adventure, the "fons et origo of interactive fiction, and one of the hallowed artifacts" of computer gaming history.
