A highly unusual "infinite" adventure game written by Chris Newall. 

Colossal Cave was great fun but it had one major drawback - it was finite; you
could eventually achieve a perfect score, become an Adventurer Grandmaster and
that was that. It might take many months to achieve perfection, but once you had
done it what was left? You could hang around the office enjoying the struggles
of Novice Class Adventurers, perhaps dropping the occasion hint to help them on
their way or you could get on with real life - such as it is.

Chris Newall decided that it would be fun to try to write an adventure program
which resembled real life in its scope and unpredictability.

The result, Chimaera, was first conceived in 1983 and implemented in Fortran in
January 1984. For over a decade Chimaera version 1.113 [Fortran] languished in
the archives until a meeting with an old and valued friend early in 2002
stimulated Chris to revisit the program. 

Chris Newall decided to recode it in ANSI C and the present program Chimaera
version c1.001 is the result.
