Searching through my old downloads, I found the Atari classic done in QuickBasic (I knew I had it somewhere!) by mtorres, and it works in QB64! It feels like Christmas in June!
Here's a link to the youtube video of it running:
And here's a link to the game and the source code !!! :
For me (and I'm sure a bunch of fellow geeks who grew up with the Atari VCS and programming games in BASIC on their 8-bit home computers) this is like finding the holy grail! The source code for Atari Adventure in BASIC!!
I definitely plan on playing with this code and seeing what can be done with & learned from it.
To make it easy and in case the mega.nz/youtube ever go down, I'm attaching the files:
Enjoy, and thanks to mtorres (are they still part of the QB64 community?) for sharing this with the world!

(I'm not finding the original in the QB64.org backup...?) hurray for OCD!
- "Adventure game atari (2017-05-19).7z" = the original code I downloaded
- "Adventure.zip" = the (newer?) code & files I just found at mega.nz
