Adventure #12: Golden Voyage is one of the text adventure games that were originally written by Scott Adams for the TRS-80 Model 1, using a two word VERB NOUN text parser (it had to fit in 16K RAM originally). This one was co-written by William Demas and originally released in 1979, and ported to the Coco by June 1983 by . Later a patched version came out to support the Coco 2B (with the T1 derivative of the VDG (Video Display Generator) chip, which featured true lowercase letters. This also works with the Coco 3. The game also supports saving and restoring a game in progress.

Golden Voyage was rated by the company as an Advanced skill adventure game. The mission for the player in this game is find the elixer that will rejuvenate the king of the land, who is lying near death and only has 3 days to live. There is also a lot of gold to find, so it is both a mission and a treasure style adventure. The game also features a dedication at the beginning to the British band "QUEEN".

NOTE: By August of 1983, Adventure International was offering Tri-Pack adventures for both the Coco and the Atari 8 bits; these offered 3 adventures for 1 lower price. The packs were Adventures 1-3, Adventures 4-6, Adventures 7-9 and Adventures 10-12.
