Adventure #6: Strange Odyssey is one of the text adventure games that were originally written by Scott Adams for the TRS-80 Model 1, using a two word VERB NOUN text parser (it had to fit in 16K RAM originally). This one was originally released in 1979, and ported to the Coco by June 1983 by Strange Odyssey was rated by the company as a Moderate skill adventure game. This is the first Scott Adams adventure to feature a science fiction theme. Th goal in this game is gather treasures and advanced technologies from a long dead alien civilization, and return home with them. The game also features a dedication at the beginning to the Novak's... I am assuming that this is friends of the family?
