You open the cage and let the bird kill the snake.  On crossing the toll
bridge, I think you have to throw something to the troll.... don't remember
what.

I first played Adventure in the late 70's on a B-6800.  My wife and I spent
one Christmas vacation playing that game.  I was working for a private,
liberal arts college that shut down over Christmas so we used a TI 700
portable terminal (and five or six rolls of thermal paper) to play from
home.  The TI 700 used an acoustic coupler with rubber cups running 300
baud so you can be sure we used the Terse mode for output.

Talk about bringing back memories!!!
