Dungeon was the original.
Advent is unrelated to zork, except maybe as inspiration.
Zork (the commercial version) was created by breaking dungeon into
three parts, with additional stuff thrown in to fill out the three
sections, and making an end-point in each. Many locations are identical.
I downloaded DUNGEON, but I mean Zork. Are those
two (almost)
identical? I never saw Zork, just read about it in an article.
I will check out DUNGEON and ADVENT in RT-11 is a couple of
weeks. I will also take the time to read through the updated
manual (I know, ... I have it on a stack "todo" things).
Fuzzy memory says that DUNGEON was more than ADVENT and less than Zork
in terms of the scope of the game.
