MediaWiki:Sitenotice:
2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

The Second Rainbow Book of Adventures is a collection of twenty-four BASIC adventure games. The book contains an introduction and the program listing for each game. A companion item, The Second Rainbow Adventures Tape, includes executable copies of all the games in the book, plus an additional three games whose listings were too lengthy to be included in the book.
The book and accompanying tape were first announced with a full-page, color ad in the October 1985 issue of The Rainbow. (They both appeared in the list of items that could be ordered in the Rainbow Bookshelf ad of the September 1985 issue, but were not featured in this ad or issue in any other way.)
