Description
ADL (Adventure Development Language) Was created by Ken Williams for the first games created by On-Line Systems. It was developed in assembly.
This was the engine for the Hi-Res Adventure series. Dithering was added to the interpreter to simulate a 21 color pallet from the Apple II's 6 color pallet. This can be seen in Hi-Res Adventure 2: Wizard & the Princess.
