Adventurescape was an IF Authoring System release on a cover disc on the magazine A&B Computing. It was exclusively for the BBC Micro series of computers.
The system itself was primitive, yet powerful: it only allowed a two word parser, and wouldn't allow editing of descriptions, once the game was created. But it was a starter for several of the IF authors on the Acorn platform and it was free!
It was expanded for several game by Heyley Software, mutating into the HATRACK system.
