Hi all

I'm looking for a game, which, as far as I can remember, was called Wilderness Survival. But here's the twist - it's not that awful game with the actual graphics. This one had purely ASCII-based graphics. It featured a top-down "view" of the game world, and a whole bunch of tables and graphs surrounding that.

If you've ever played the awesome Notrium, then that's almost the exact same type of gameplay, except this game is waaaaay older. As far as I can remember, the interface was mainly purple, and had no real graphics at all if I remember correctly.

In this game, you have to find a pocket-knife, hunt and skin bears, find all sorts of food and what-not and just generally survive. The entire game is set on some sort of plateau, and you have to build a parachute to jump off the endge to finish the game.

I have been searching all over the place and absolutely cannot find this game anywhere, any help would really be appreciated. I think this game is about 15 years old, but may well be older.

Thanks in advance :bye:

Wilderness: A Survival Adventure

Released: 1985 by Electric Transit, Inc.

It's Abandonware k: , so if someone can upload it

Wow, blast from the past

I appreciate the effort, but that's not the one I'm looking for. As I said - the game I'm thinking of was purely ASCII-based. I have a feeling that this game you mentioned may actually be a remake of it.

Wait...this time I wont disappoint you....Wilderness: A Survival Adventure (1984) (VG)

Director: Wesley Huntress
Writer: Charles Kohlhase (designer)
Release Date: 1984 (USA)
Genre: Adventure

23 years old game....certainly Abandonware

Isn't that the story for the same text-based adventure in your previous post???

And if not, where to find it, Mobygames has no info on that, and surely there's no archive....
I will review the Wilderness with those CGA pictures and i think it is rext-based sooner or later unless someone else does. But the game played in ASCII in top-down view.... I never even heard of it...

Generic request, moved to invalid requests.

The descriptions David posted are for the same game, only the release date differs because of this:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(IMDB)</div>

The first game sold through Electronic Art's Affiliated Label distribution program. After a year, Electric Transit ended their relationship with Electronic Arts and distributed the game through Spectrum Holobyte.

I have found this [TXT], but there is no parachuting involved.

Have captured a screenshot:

Wow, that's it! I can't believe you've found it. Since you said you've captured a screenshot, does that mean you have it?
