Believe it or not, “Colossal Cave” has been ported to the Android system, and can be found at the Google App store. Looks like they have a version with fancy graphics, but I downloaded and have played the original text version, just as we knew and loved it back in the day.

Also found an Android version of “Leisure Suit Larry” with better graphics and audio than the original, but still the same old Larry!

Two of the great time wasters of all time, IMHO!

I'm still old school on my cellphone, but if and when I ever upgrade, I would rather not own any product that profits Google or Apple.

As far as i'm concerned, trading with them is just a modern version of "The Rhinemann Exchange." They are evil and I don't want to support them if I can help it, though as time goes on, it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid their influence. They have their fingers in too many pies.

I'll bet somewhere on the internet I can find a copies that can be used on a regular PC.
