Adventure #2: Pirate Adventure is one of the text adventure games that were originally written by Scott & Alexis 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 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.

Pirate Adventure was rated by the company as a Beginner skill adventure game. The mission is to explore and island and find the lost treasures of Long John Silver which are hidden on it. The game also features a dedication at the beginning to Ted Heeren and Paul Sharland.
