I just updated to 7.0.3 and saw the same message. I typed
idl_adventure at the prompt and a window popped up with this message.
Welcome to Adventure!! Would you like instructions?
>>> yes
Somewhere nearby is Colossal Cave, where others have found fortunes in
treasure and gold, though it is rumored that some who enter are never
seen again. Magic is said to work in the cave. I will be your eyes
and hands. Direct me with commands of 1 or 2 words. I should warn
you that I look at only the first four letters of each word, so you'll
have to enter "NORTHEAST" as "NE" to distinguish it from "NORTH".
(Should you get stuck, type "HELP" for some general hints. For infor-
mation on how to end your adventure, etc., type "INFO".)
This program was originally developed by Willie Crowther. Most of the
features of the current program were added by Don Woods (DON @ SU-AI).
The current version was done by Kent Blackett and Bob Supnik. It is
DECUS Program 11-340.
The rehost to a PC, under Microsoft Fortran, was done by Ken Plotkin.
The rehost to IDL was done by Chris Torrence.

You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building.
Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and
down a gully.
Looks like a version of ZORK to me.....
