Indenture (video game)

Indenture is a free video game based on the Atari 2600 game Adventure. The game is known for being very hard on the extra game levels 4 and 5. The game was programmed by Craig Pell, and includes a secret area with over 300 more rooms. The name Indenture is a pun on the fact that programmers at Atari were not allowed to take credit for their games. The Internet contains beta versions of the game called Aventure II and Misventure.
