Barroom Brawl: Punch for your life, by One-Eye Jack. Release 2 / Serial number 240928.

A Glulx port of Adventure 2.5, the last version to be released by Don Woods. Unlike other Glulx versions of Adventure, this one is not Inform-based. It was created by porting Eric S. Raymond's Open Adventure to WebAssembly and then compiling it to Glulx using Wasm2Glulx. This is the first game ever translated in this fashion, as a proof-of-concept for the tool. Open Adventure is a refactoring of the C sources that Don Woods posted to rec.games.int-fiction in 1995, which were the product of an automated translation from FORTRAN. Open Adventure was rigorously tested to ensure that no user-visible changes by this refactoring. As such, aside from any interface details under the control of your Glk library, this port should provide a playing experience perfectly identical to the original.

Open Adventure was released with permission from Don Woods under a BSD 2-Clause license, and this port retains those terms. Sources are available from https://github.com/dfoxfranke/bedquilt/tree/master/advent430.
