I was doing a bit of research and came across an interesting page:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/adventure/
lists adventure games for various computers, including machines like the
PDP series and the much, much better (and far too infrequently mentioned)
HP 3000. 8^)
Ahhh.... Adventure.... All the plugh's and plovers and xyzzy's you could
shake a stick (of dynamite) at....
Does anyone remember a version that:
If you went down from the hall of the Mt. king, you
were in a room with a vault door. If you tried to
apply any of the standard magic words (xyzzy etc)
the door would fuse shut and something (a blob? a djinn?)
would show up several turns later, chase you down, and
kill you?
It ran on a CPM machine in the early 80's.
