Escape from Rungistan

Escape from Rungistan is an interactive fiction computer game written by Bob Blauschild for the Apple II and released by Sirius Software in 1982. Rungistan combines graphical elements with text-based commands. The game begins with the player sitting in a jail cell and one is asked to enter a command. Rungistan was the first text adventure game to introduce the element of time; in certain situations, the player was required to perform a certain action before the time ran out, such as defusing a bomb. Also, it was the first text adventure to feature arcade-like sequences, such as skiing down a hill and avoiding trees.
