By the way, the original wasn't written for Unix,
though IIRC a ported
version did appear in the games directory in one or two BSD releases.
The original was written in BASIC in 1972-73, and the late Greg Yob (the
author) wrote a piece about which is in the BASIC Computer Games books.

If anyone wants to play WUMPUS, I have it on my Wofford Witch system
online. Just go to my web site http://www.woffordwitch.com, and log
onto my system using the guest account 40,1. Once you've logged in,
you can run WUMPUS by typing
RUN GAME:WUMPUS
at the READY prompt. If you want to see the BASIC PLUS listing,
you can type
OLD GAME:WUMPUS
and then type
LIST
at the READY prompt.
This version is from the early-to-mid 1970s.
