It seems like just about every scheme or lisp class that friends have
enrolled in has a 'write a short adventure' assignment (though at our
university they only teach C++ and Cobol). Its pretty easy to write
simple ones.

About three years ago in Dr. Dobbs I read about a language called DROOL
(Dave's Recycled Object-Oriented Language) that the author of one of
the popular lisps (xlisp or franz lisp...?) wrote. He was also the
author of a previous adventure game construction language, which with
my poor memory I can't remember. It's available at ftp.gmd.de, but only
for Mac's I think, unless someone has ported it since). I've never
looked at it.
