Android phone app: "Explore" Text Adventures

This Android phone app is a reincarnation of some old adventure games my cousin and I wrote 30 years ago, now ported to Java and the Android platform. I used this game as my official entry into the world of Android apps. For more information on the history of these games or to play them on-line, visit the On-line Explore page. If you have an Android phone, look in Android Market for "Explore".
