Beyond the Tesseract is a text-based adventure game developed by Canadian author David Lo for the TRS-80 in 1983. It uses a deliberately limited VERB NOUN interface with a 200-word vocabulary and explores mathematical entities and abstract concepts. Its scenarios include navigating an adventure game within the game and deriving a symbolic-logic proof while asleep. Later versions were adapted for MS-DOS, Atari ST, Unix, and the Z-machine standard.
